The Prouty has become an institution in the Upper Valley, and we are thrilled to expand this wonderful event to our friends, patients and community in southern New Hampshire.
Steven D. Leach, MDThe Prouty, Dartmouth Cancer Center’s premier fundraising event, is hosting its first-ever Prouty Community Day & Walk on Sunday, June 8. Held at Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Manchester, located at 100 Hitchcock Way, the event will raise support and awareness for Dartmouth Cancer Center programs and patient services in southern New Hampshire.
The fundraising goal for the inaugural Community Day & Walk is $200,000. All money raised will stay within Dartmouth Cancer Center locations in southern New Hampshire. Funds go toward support services for patients and their families, such as gift cards for groceries and gas, comfort carts for patients in treatment, and much more.
The event will include a one-mile walk and community celebration with refreshments, activities for children, music and more. Dartmouth Cancer Center leadership will hold an opening ceremony, and participants will get the chance to meet Prouty Heroes and visit a survivor tent celebrating past and current cancer patients and survivors.
“The Prouty has become an institution in the Upper Valley, and we are thrilled to expand this wonderful event to our friends, patients and community in southern New Hampshire, said Steven D. Leach, MD, Dartmouth Cancer Center director. “Every dollar raised through Prouty events helps provide life-saving cancer care and fuel innovative research to one day end cancer. I look forward to it every year, and I’m delighted to build The Prouty’s reach and impact."
