Campaign for the Cure - C4C23

Thank you to those that supported Campaign for the Cure 2023!

Campaign for the Cure (C4C) is the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation’s longest-running annual campaign, designed to raise critical funds to support the Foundation’s mission--especially our efforts to advance cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) research. Our research activities fuel the development of new treatment options for CCA patients and, ultimately, a cure.

Thanks to the generosity of the Scott Family, your donation to this year’s C4C will be doubled!

C4C was originally started in 2014 by Jason and Andrea (Breuhan) Scott. Andrea was diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in April of 2013 and quickly became an unwavering champion and fundraiser for the Foundation. Though she lost her courageous 18-month battle with the disease in 2014, her legacy of generosity lives on through the continuation of C4C and the partnership of the Scott Family.

The Scott Family is offering a dollar-for-dollar match for every donation made as part of C4C23, up to $20,000.

“Our family could not think of a more meaningful way to honor Andrea’s memory than by accelerating research for this devastating disease.”

- Jason Scott, CCF Board of Directors.

Week 1: CCF’s Campaign for the Cure 2023!

The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation is excited to launch Campaign for the Cure 2023 (C4C2023), and we need your help to reach our $115,000 fundraising goal in May. With your support, we can continue championing research that leads to new treatments and a cure.

Plus, thanks to Jason Scott providing a $20,000 matching gift, your donation will have double the impact!

Supporters like you have helped us contribute to some significant advances in research, including:

Funding 50 fellowships totaling over $2.5 Million for early-career investigators through our Research Fellowship Program.
Growing patient participation in over 400 clinical trials and leading the way to five FDA-approved drugs in the past 2 ½ years.
Enabling us to collaborate with over 100 global researchers through the International Cholangiocarcinoma Research Network (ICRN).
Creating the Cure Cholangiocarcinoma Think Tank (C2T2) with 29 expert scientists and clinicians from leading academic institutions.
Establishing the International Cholangiocarcinoma Patient Registry (ICPR) so patients can be active partners in research.

With your gift, Campaign for the Cure 2023 will make a difference in patients' lives and help us find a cure. Every dollar makes an impact, and with Jason Scott's matching gift, your donation will go twice as far. Will you support the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation today?

Week 2: Campaign for the Cure 2023 has Kicked Off!

Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation's Campaign for the Cure 2023 (C4C2023) has kicked off, and we need your help to reach our $115,000 fundraising goal! With your support, we can continue championing research that leads to new treatments and a cure.

Thanks to supporters like you, we can continue contributing to significant advances in research. Since 2015, CCF has awarded 50 Research Fellowships totaling over $2.5 Million in seed funding to early-career researchers, many of whom might not have received funding through traditional means. These researchers study cholangiocarcinoma at renowned institutions worldwide and raise awareness about cholangiocarcinoma's innovative, high-quality research. We aim to help researchers gain insights and achieve significant scientific milestones.

Please join us by making a gift to Campaign for the Cure 2023. Your support will make a difference in patients' lives and help us find a cure.

Every dollar makes a difference, and with Jason Scott's $20,000 matching gift, your donation will double the impact. Will you support the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation today?

Week 3: Campaign for the Cure is in Full Swing!

Campaign for the Cure 2023 (#C4C23) is in full swing with $10,769 raised to date! If you have already made a gift, thank you! If not, we need your help to reach our $115,000 fundraising goal. With the support of community members like you, we can continue championing research that makes significant strides in research and treatment.

CCF provides a searchable website for clinical trials because new tests and treatments aren’t offered to the public as soon as they’re created. CCF powers a patient-friendly clinical trial website to identify new opportunities as soon as they are available. When a trial is determined to be safe and effective, it may become tomorrow’s standard of care. Supporters like you have helped us increase patient participation in over 400 clinical trials and led the way to 5 FDA-approved drugs in the past 2 ½ years. Trials continue to evolve and provide promising opportunities for treatment.

Please join us for Campaign for the Cure 2023 and help us continue making a difference in patients’ lives! Every dollar makes an impact, and with the $20,000 matching gift, your donation will go twice as far. Will you join us and support Campaign for the Cure?

Week 4: Help CCF Achieve the Goal for Campaign for the Cure!

With the support of our community, we have raised $41,000 during our Campaign for the Cure (#C4C23). With our goal of $115,000, we still need your help. We could reach the halfway point by Friday with your donation of any amount! You are an integral part of this community; anything you contribute is meaningful and makes a difference.

When you donate, you become an essential part of our championing collaborative efforts and research that lead to new treatments and a cure.

Support from community members allows us to continue collaborative efforts like the Cure Cholangiocarcinoma Think Tank (C2T2) where CCF brought together 29 global expert scientists and clinicians from leading academic institutions to work on early detection and precision therapeutic pathways. When you donate, you work in concert with our dedicated researchers to make a difference. It isn’t just a donation, it is a personal investment in helping cure this disease.

Your gift will go twice as far with the Scott Family's $20,000 matching gift. Be a part of leading the charge in research initiatives today by making a gift.

Week 5: Still Time to Support Campaign for the Cure 2023!

There is still time to make a gift to support CCF’s Campaign for the Cure 2023! Will you help us reach our $115,000 goal? We are $13,000 away from achieving this goal and need your support to fund research that impacts treatments and leads to a cure. To donate, you can make your gift here.

With our community's support, we established the International Cholangiocarcinoma Patient Registry (ICPR) to improve research. By sharing de-identified health records, patients can participate in research, get second opinions, collaborate with their medical team, and coordinate with caregivers. This accelerates research, advances understanding of cholangiocarcinoma, fosters the discovery of new treatment options, and helps to develop new targeted therapies.

Will you join us today to help us reach the $115,000 Campaign for the Cure goal and support transformative research programs like the ICPR? Your donation will help make a significant impact on cholangiocarcinoma research. Thank you for your support!

Week 6: Final Days to Support CCF’s Campaign for the Cure!

We are in the final days of Campaign for the Cure 2023 (C4C2023). Your contributions fund critical cholangiocarcinoma research.

There is still time to help us continue the progress made over the past 16 years. We have worked together to advance our shared vision of a world free from cholangiocarcinoma. CCF has collaborated with our community and begun to witness a change in the trajectory of this cancer. We celebrated new FDA-approved treatments and collaborated with brilliant scientists, clinicians, industry, patients, and caregivers.

These collaborations have made a significant impact toward better treatment options and, ultimately, finding a cure. CCF focuses on the following core values: Patients First, Collaboration, Innovation, and Urgency. Please join us on our journey so that we can continue making progress.

Please consider making a gift to Campaign for the Cure. Every donation makes an impact and helps us continue supporting and expanding research to improve the quality of patients’ lives, ultimately leading to a cure!
