Under One Umbrella was launched over a decade ago to raise money to create the freestanding Stanford Women’s Cancer Center at the Stanford Cancer Institute. Thanks to generous support from the community, the Stanford Women’s Cancer Center has become a preeminent center specializing in the research and treatment of women’s cancers. Under One Umbrella has raised over $65 million through the philanthropic funds generated by our supporters.
