The Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation is dedicated to changing the future of cancer by funding advanced, innovative research that treats the cancer while sparing the patient. CARES is an established 501(c)3 and a national identity in the cancer community. CARES, which stands for Cancer Alliance for Research, Education, and Survivorship, is creating a cancer network built upon strong partnerships with leading institutions, cancer support groups, and researchers to improve the quality of life and provide better outcomes for those living with cancer.
A portion of the net proceeds from this event will stay local and support our healthcare partners at Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center.

The Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center offers guidance, support, and understanding to help you cope every step of the way. The Cancer Center’s mission is to deliver integrated, university-level cancer care utilizing technology and innovation combined with personalized, quality care from highly trained experts in the field. Their true north is for the Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center to be a healing place like no other.™
With four satellite locations throughout the Coachella Valley, outpatient services include hematology/ oncology clinics and infusion centers, radiation oncology, gynecologic oncology, breast surgical oncology, American College of Radiology (ACR) accredited breast imaging centers, outpatient palliative care, oncology nurse navigation, personalized medicine, and a multitude of cancer support services. The hospital also has inpatient medical oncology and surgical services, radiology, pathology, a dedicated Mohs surgeon, rehabilitation services, inpatient palliative care services, and multiple cancer screening programs
Since 2017, the Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center has been affiliated with UC San Diego Health Cancer Network, yielding numerous enhancements to the program, including on-site and telemedicine-based support for personalized cancer therapy, pancreatic cancer screening, blood and marrow transplant, genetic counseling, onco-fertility, hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer surgery, and access to other specialties as needed. This affiliation has yielded an ever-growing array of vital new resources for desert residents who would otherwise have to travel out of the area for advanced cancer care. The Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center is truly a remarkable cancer treatment facility, bringing together in one place a tremendous technological strength and a profoundly human environment available nowhere else in the Palm Springs region.
