CURE Childhood Cancer Association

CURE Childhood Cancer Association For 50 years, C.U.R.E. C.U.R.E. Childhood Cancer Association was formed in Rochester, NY in 1976 by a group of parents who lost their children to cancer.

has supported Greater Rochester Families facing pediatric cancer and chronic blood disorders—lifting burdens from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. They wanted to provide support to parents going through the same experience, as well as raise money for cancer research. Today, C.U.R.E. is the only organization in Rochester focused solely on meeting the emotional, social, financial, and educational needs of children diagnosed with cancer and chronic blood disorders. The C.U.R.E. Childhood Cancer Association is there to help and meet the very specific needs of families who are caring for a chronically ill child.

Friend Friday is dedicated to the Drive for Dreams team!

For the 5th year in a row, Drive for Dreams, in partnership with the The Birdsall Inn, hosted their Annual Get Lost In The Middle of Nowhere Poker Run!

The proceeds were split between C.U.R.E. and 13Thirty Cancer Connect, donating $10,000 to each! We are so honored to be one of the recipients.

Thank you Nicole & Family for DRIVING this event and being advocates for our Families.🎗

As we celebrate C.U.R.E.’s 50th Anniversary, it’s important to remember that an organization’s legacy isn’t created by one person. It’s built over time by the many people who believe in its mission, give their time and talents, and dedicate themselves to the Families C.U.R.E. serves.

At C.U.R.E.’s Golden Gala, we were honored to recognize one of those people with the Impact & Legacy Award: Former Executive Director, Holly Dutcher. ✨

For 12 years, Holly devoted herself to C.U.R.E. and to the Families at the heart of our mission. Her commitment went far beyond a job or title. She poured her energy, creativity and heart into leading the organization, strengthening its presence in our community, building relationships with supporters and, most importantly, keeping Families at the center of everything we do.

If you know Holly, you know her commitment to C.U.R.E. extended well beyond herself. She always had a way of bringing her entire family into everything she did! There were plenty of days when you could walk into Holly’s office and find a little Dutchling happily hanging out while Mom went about her C.U.R.E. business. Over the years, her kids even began volunteering on their own — from putting craft kits together in the office to helping at events like the Survivors’ Day Picnic.

Holly instilled a love for C.U.R.E. in the Dutchlings and showed them by example what it means to give back selflessly. C.U.R.E. was never simply a place where she worked. It was a mission she cared deeply about and one she made part of her life.

As we celebrate C.U.R.E.’s history, we also look toward its future — built on the foundation created by those who came before us. Holly is an important part of that foundation.

On behalf of the C.U.R.E. Board, staff, volunteers, supporters and, most importantly, the Families whose lives have been touched by C.U.R.E., thank you, Holly, for your years of service, your dedication, your heart and the lasting impact you have made.

Your impact will remain part of C.U.R.E. and the Families we serve for years to come. 💛
