About Tower Cancer

It was established in 1996 by a dedicated group of physicians, patients, and volunteers with a personal stake in cancer.

Inspired by the most promising science, we fund leading researchers, making us a launchpad for additional funding and scientific discoveries.

Where We Invest:

Scientific Research Grants: Funding scientific research to uncover the mechanisms by which cancer develops and spreads, creating a path to effectively treating and preventing the disease and creating the life-saving treatments of tomorrow.
Survivorship Support: We invest in life-changing support for people affected by cancer today through Magnolia House.

While our programs and funding are made locally, they are designed to maximize impact beyond the initial investment — so they not only benefit researchers, patients, and families today, they have the potential to lead to even greater impact tomorrow, transforming lives anywhere.

Our Mission:

Through local investments, we advance groundbreaking cancer research and profoundly support people affected by the disease to create outsized impact in Southern California and beyond.
