The Supporters Board of the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center

The Supporters Board of the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center is a volunteer group of community leaders, many of whom have been touched by cancer in some way. The mission of the Supporters is to raise funds, provide patient amenities and increase awareness of the Cancer Center. The Board launches an annual fundraising campaign every November, which benefits various projects at the Center. Twenty-five percent of the funds raised during each campaign, however, are used for patient and family services at the Cancer Center.

The Supporters Board was formed in 1984, under the guidance of Cancer Center Director Emeritus Albert LoBuglio, M.D. The Board held its first fundraising campaign two years later, and since then has raised more than $8 million for the Center.
