Online giving is Making Cancer History®
Digital fundraising has helped MD Anderson extend its reach and further its mission to eradicate cancer. Efforts this fiscal year include the institution’s participation in the November 2013 national “Giving Tuesday” campaign, which raised more than $87,000 for the institution’s cancer research and patient care initiatives. To date, MD Anderson’s generous online donor community has raised more than $1 million, an increase of 5.1% from the same period last year. If you’d like to join the crowd, visit mdanderson.org on your laptop, tablet or smart phone and click “Give now.”
