About Us
The Friends of the University of Hawaii Cancer Center is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to support and pro-mote the efforts of the University of Hawaii Cancer Center. Our goal is to generate community support for the Cancer Center in its efforts to find cures for cancer, to educate the people of Hawaii on cancer prevention and to improve the quality of life of those diagnosed with cancer. To fulfill our mission and goal, the Friends is actively involved in advocacy by bringing awareness to our community of the excellent and unique research taking place at the Center. We are seek-ing broad-based support from the community and welcome those who would like to join our effort in our “Friends With Benefits” program.
