Support the Henry Ford Cancer Institute

There are many ways you can make a difference for cancer patients at Henry Ford Cancer Institute. Whether you prefer to join a fundraising team, make a one-time gift or become a volunteer, you will have an impact on cancer patients in the communities we serve—and beyond.

Game On Cancer

Every year, hundreds of community members like you form Game On Cancer teams to raise money in support of patient transportation, medication, research and other critical needs. The Game On Cancer season culminates in the late fall with a celebration at Ford Field and features meet-and-greets with Detroit Lions players, dinner and more.

Make A Gift

We are proud of the hundreds of donors a year who invest in the Henry Ford Cancer Institute through their support for patients, leading-edge treatments, facilities and research to better understand and cure these difficult diseases.

Your generosity makes big things possible, like the construction of the world-class Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion, innovative technology to treat abdomen tumors, new hope for pancreatic cancer—and much more.
