7th Annual Women Leaders
in Oncology Reception

Monday, June 1, 2020

A Heartfelt Thank You to This Incredible Community of Women in Oncology!

With your support and generosity, we have raised over $64,000 to fully fund the Women Leaders in Oncology Women Who Conquer Cancer (WLO WWCC) Young Investigator Award for 2021!

Fundraising will continue throughout 2020 as we look toward funding the research grant of a second young female oncologist, and 100% of donations go toward the WLO WWCC Young Investigator Award. We hope that you will continue to share and spread the word to your family and friends.

To donate, text WLO to 41444 or visit here.

Thank You Debi Hemmeter!

A sincere thank you to Debi Hemmeter for her powerful and inspiring keynote speech that also served as a wonderful reminder about the importance of LEANING IN and sharing with our community of women.

Join a Lean in Circle Today!

Congratulations 2020 Honorees!

“Awards like the WWCC WLO Young Investigator Award are the lifeblood for junior physician-scientists like myself. Without this support, it would not be possible to conduct the research that is not only vital to establishing our academic careers, but hopefully ushers in the next generation of scientific discovery for our patients and families.” — Molly R. Taylor, MD
