The UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center Supporters surpassed its fundraising goal of $780,000 by almost a quarter-million dollars, raising a record $1,016,000. The total was announced at the organization’s Gala 2006 in late February.

The funds from this year’s gala will go to the Rays of Hope campaign to build a replacement facility for the UAB Cancer Center’s radiation oncology services. One-fourth of the supporters money will support patient and family services, including compassionate amenities for all patients, affordable lodging, prescription drugs, transportation and financial assistance for patients in need.

Over the years, the supporters have raised more than $8 million for research laboratories, cutting-edge instrumentation, recruitment packages to attract world-class faculty members and services for compassionate care.
