Support
The Center is supported, in part, by the Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center, a Section 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt corporation. The Friends sponsor and partner with several fundraising events annually, culminating in the annual Prouty and Prouty Ultimate in July, a series of events in which runners, walkers, cyclists and rowers contribute to the Friends through distance sponsorships. In 2010 the Prouty events raised more than $2.3 million combined for the Center and involved more than 4,500 participants and 1,000 volunteers; a record number of participant sponsors, more than 23,000, contributed financial support. The Prouty is the largest charity fundraising event in northern New England. Since the Prouty’s founding in 1982, the events have raised more than $12 million.
Total annual philanthropic support for the Center exceeds $10 million.
