WHY

At The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital, donors recognized the gap in early-stage research funding needs, prompting the creation of the Cancer Frontier Fund. Since 2007, we have worked tirelessly to engage with partners who are motivated by investment in health innovation. Our experience has shown us that those who appreciate this high-risk and high-reward investment are, at heart, entrepreneurs who are unsatisfied with the status quo.

Given the reputation and expertise of the 450+ physician-scientists at Siteman, the next best idea in cancer innovation is being investigated — it just needs a philanthropic partner to hasten its arrival. The purpose behind Illumination is to seek partners who want to play a crucial role in the fight against cancer. We hope you will join us!
