WHERE THE FUNDS GO

The Ride For Roswell Makes a Difference

When you support the Ride for Roswell, you are making a difference in the lives of patients who turn to Roswell Park for hope. Here are just a few examples of what your support makes possible.

BREAKTHROUGH CANCER TREATMENTS

Imagine a patient only needing a monthly shot or transfusion to halt or eliminate their cancer. While it might sound simple, it’s already a real option for some patients at Roswell Park. It’s an innovative class of cancer treatment — immunotherapy — that uses a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. And it’s been found to improve a patient’s quality of life, reduce side effects and offer the possibility for long-term remission.

Funds raised through events like the Ride help ensure that cancer patients have access to emerging immunotherapy treatments at one of only a few centers in the country positioned to offer these intricate options — therapies that patients would have to travel several hours to receive if Roswell Park were not in the WNY community.

ADVANCES IN PERSONALIZED MEDICINE

Roswell Park’s Personalized Medicine Initiative was one of the first to be launched in the U.S. It’s moving away from one-size-fits-all care and focusing on designed-to-tailor treatments and health care delivery unique to each person’s cancer.

Your support helps Roswell Park provide cancer patients with opportunities for targeted and personalized care through enhanced tests of their cancer.

GROUNDBREAKING CLINICAL TRIALS

The first step to exploring and developing new treatment options that could potentially help more cancer patients is clinical trials. Roswell Park is advancing groundbreaking new treatments thanks to support from donors.

  • SurVaxM brain tumor vaccine
  • CIMAvax lung cancer vaccine

The Ride for Roswell helps expand Roswell Park’s lifesaving clinical trials and gives hope to more moms, dads, daughters, sons, grandparents and grandchildren battling cancer.

The funds raised from the Ride for Roswell go directly to the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation, the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that manages all donations to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
