Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation

The Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to changing the future of cancer by funding innovative research that treats the cancer while sparing the patient. Founded by Olympic gold medalist and cancer survivor Scott Hamilton, the foundation focuses on three pillars: research, education, and survivorship. A primary focus of their research funding is on immunotherapy and targeted treatments, such as proton therapy, to reduce the long-term side effects of traditional treatments. Through partnerships with leading cancer centers, the foundation aims to provide patients with better access to advanced care and support services. The organization also operates the 'Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer' program, a nationwide fundraising initiative that engages communities through ice skating events. By bridging the gap between research and patient care, the foundation strives to improve outcomes and quality of life for those affected by cancer.
