Welcome to Hope's monthly update. It's that time of year where we announce a very special opportunity for all SWOG members and their collaborators: the annual call for new project proposals!

From June through August we're inviting submissions to our Next Generation Fund - a funding opportunity that's launched a number of impactful efforts across our network.

Why Next Generation? In short: it's our birthday! For the longer answer, please read on below...

The Hope Foundation at 30: A Generation of Impact

Founded in 1993, this is The Hope Foundation's 30th year supporting SWOG!

During this milestone year, we're asking you to share our story and ask 3 friends or loved ones to support our mission with a gift of $30.

You have the power to engage others who care about and want to advance cancer research. With your help, we can raise $300,000 for the Next Generation Fund to secure support for future progress in treatment and prevention.
