Description of Products or Services:
ONE TEAM. ONE CAUSE.
Every year, University of Miami faculty, departments, grateful patients, friends, students, alumni, corporate partners, and others showcase their support by creating their own team within the Team Hurricanes family at the Dolphins Challenge Cancer (DCC). A few examples of these teams include: âTeam Hurricanes â Sylvester Developmentâ, âTeam Hurricanes â Mack Cycleâ and âTeam Hurricanes â Law Schoolâ.
WHY THEÂ DCC.
Over the past 13 years, research discoveries in the fight against cancer have evolved at such a rapid pace, there are now more potential curative therapies than ever before. For the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the DCC has played a crucial role in advancing our drive towards more cures.
Year after year, the funds that are raised by the DCC allows Sylvester to recruit and retain some of the worldâs best minds in cancer research and provide them with the resources they need to make discoveries. In 2019, we achieved a tremendous milestone when the National Cancer Institute (NCI) placed us among the top cancer centers in the country by awarding Sylvester with an NCI-designation, recognizing our breakthrough scientific discoveries, cutting-edge cancer treatments, and community outreach programs.
We are one of only two NCI-designated institutions in the state of Floridaâ and one of only 71 in the United States. This designation sets us apart as a leader in moving scientific discoveries from the laboratory directly to patients, and in providing the most innovative treatments in the region. None of this would be possible without the dedication and support of the Miami Dolphins and the DCC, which has steadfastly provided the much-needed resources to accelerate Sylvesterâs life-saving mission.
