FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS,
increase in survival rates.
OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center is gearing up for its fifth annual Outpace Cancer Race, and we would be honored to see your organization partner with us to be a sponsor. This year’s race will be held in-person with a virtual option as well. We look forward to welcoming back the passionate runners/walkers who support the fight against cancer. The race will take place on the OU Health Sciences Center campus the morning of Saturday, April 1, 2023. Cancer patients and survivors will continue to be at an increased risk population due to low immunities caused by treatment for the foreseeable future. Additionally, economic adversities often hit cancer patients and their families especially hard as they must travel for cancer care and limit work hours. We can’t thank you enough for uniting with us this year in this fight to eradicate cancer.
Stephenson Cancer Center is Oklahoma’s only National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center and is currently ranked number 1 among all cancer centers in the nation for the number of patients participating in clinical trials sponsored by NCI’s National Clinical Trials Network. It is the largest and most comprehensive oncology practice in the state, delivering patient-centered, multidisciplinary care for every type of cancer. As one of the nation’s leading research organizations, Stephenson Cancer Center uses the latest innovations to fight and eliminate cancer.
Patients treated at National Cancer Institute-Designated Centers have a 25%
The money raised by the race goes towards cancer research and patient supportive care for patients from Oklahoma and beyond who need a helping hand. Our mission is to improve cancer patient outcomes and eradicate cancer in Oklahoma and the nation.
We hope you will partner with us in this fight against cancer. The sponsorship packet is attached. Please let me know if you have any questions or how I can help your organization get involved in the Outpace Cancer Race.
Thank you,
