Monica Seetharaman, a clinical nurse at MSK Monmouth, is grateful to the MSK Giving community.
In 2023, the MSK Giving community raised a record-breaking $1 billion — 100% of which will support our Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) mission of ending cancer for life. Every single member of the MSK Giving community was key to this historic success.
“We are the most capable force against cancer the world has ever seen, and the MSK Giving community is an essential part of our strength,” says MSK President and Chief Executive Officer Selwyn M. Vickers, MD, FACS. “We will continue to innovate in cancer care and research, find new cures, and make sure that everyone can access these breakthroughs. Together, there is nothing we can’t achieve.”
This was a milestone year for “The MSK Campaign: Leading Science. Changing Lives.” The MSK Campaign is a multi-year effort to make a farsighted difference across MSK’s three pillars: patient care, research, and education. Organized across six strategic initiatives, The MSK Campaign is an opportunity for our vibrant community to ensure that MSK will have the resources needed to create new treatments and cures, turning a legacy of innovation into impact for people with cancer around the world.
Innovating cancer care at MSK and globally is one of the core priorities of The MSK Campaign. In 2023, MSK received the largest donation in its history, $400 million from Kenneth C. Griffin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Citadel and Founder of Griffin Catalyst, and David Geffen, Founder of The David Geffen Foundation, to elevate standards of care for all people with cancer. The transformational gift was first announced on Good Morning America.
