The Andy Hill Cancer Research Endowment (CARE) Fund was created in 2015 to promote and invest in cancer research to improve the quality of life for the people of Washington. The Fund’s objectives are to optimize the use of public funds to prioritize research with the greatest potential to improve health outcomes; leverage our state’s cancer research facilities, talent, clinical and therapeutic resources; and positively impact our economy through requiring matching funds, creating jobs, encouraging investments, and advancing our biotech, medical device, and health care information technology industries.
