What is HOPE?

HOPE (Health Opportunity through Partnership in Education) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting good health, encouraging scientific research and sharing information about the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer and other serious diseases.

How HOPE works

On behalf of our over 200,000 members, HOPE contributes to nonprofit organizations that share HOPE’s mission. Donations made by HOPE go to many worthy causes, including the American Cancer Society, the American Red Cross, Purdue University Center for Cancer Research and Indiana University Simon Cancer Center.

Did you know?

In the last two decades, the death rate from cancer has declined steadily, from its peak in 1991, largely due to better early detection and advanced treatments. While progress is being made, more work needs to be done.
