Celebrate the Bloom!

This spring Maine Cancer Foundation will be celebrating the blooming of the Pink Tulips with a series of luncheons.   Pink Tulip gardens are just one of the ways Maine Cancer Foundation raises funds to support its mission.  The luncheon is an opportunity to tell the local community about the astonishing trends in cutting-edge medical research:  researchers are heading back to the woods!

Each luncheon will feature a Maine Cancer Funded Researcher.  They will share their personal story how programs with potential can attract matching funding or produce their own self sustaining income down the road.  You will be amazed what is happening in your own back yard!
