Curebound is a San Diego-based 501c3 philanthropic organization that raises and invests strategic funding in translational cancer research projects aimed at accelerating new discoveries to clinical application.
Curebound
Accelerating Cancer Research into Cures Curebound is a 501c3 that brings the top cancer research institutions in San Diego together in a collaborative effort to accelerate cancer research into cures. Launched in 2021, Curebound represents a partnership and expansion of two highly respected local cancer organizations - Padres Pedal the Cause and the Immunotherapy Foundation, that have united to broaden the reach and impact of our mission. Together, we have collectively raised over $23 million since 2013 to fund more 80+ cancer research projects between San Diego’s exceptional research institutions including UC San Diego Health, Salk Institute, Rady Children’s Hospital, Sanford Burnham Prebys, La Jolla Institute for Immunology and Scripps Research. Founded with a deeply held belief that cures are possible, our mission and vision is to accelerate cures in our lifetime, so that the next generation doesn’t have to experience a cancer diagnosis in the frightening way that too many of us do now. We believe that the next decade will be critical to the development of sophisticated, individualized cancer treatment and the largest opportunity ever seen to advance the way we treat and ultimately cure cancer. With all its unique resources, San Diego is poised to become a global hub of cancer research and the city where cures begin. Targeting areas of research where the greatest opportunities exist, Curebound is committed to investing $100 million into collaborative cancer.
Dear Friends, It is with heavy hearts that we have shared a confirmed leukemia relapse diagnosis for Ella with latest results from the last bone marrow biopsy showing a need for a transplant. This is to happen when she is able to handle the procedure and a bone marrow match has been secured. Ella remains patient and positive, with a sharp sense of humor and determined to beat cancer…again! We learned through the first battle, that nothing can stand in the way of doing whatever is needed to support your child’s cancer battle. Deductibles and copays, out-of-pocket medical expenses, integrative, and supplemental care and other expenses are rarely budgeted for or covered. The care needs become bills, the bills become debt and you adjust to support ongoing care needs, even through remission. I know we are not alone. The effect on parents and caregivers resources and even the ability to provide necessary care can be devastating. What’s different now? We have a new level of need that came with Ella’s relapse and in turn, we are making a choice to share a practical way to help Ella. Thank you your interest in the many opportunities of the Change Giving platform and the caring founding team we have chosen to work with. We look ahead with all of you, through a season of treatment and recovery, in hope for full remission for Ella!

Precision Medicine for All - At SOTERIA, we support a superior approach to cancer treatment, where the patient is at the center of globally curated resources to implement precision medicine and generate better outcomes despite geographic location, treating institution, or socioeconomic status. The founders and supporters of SOTERIA are personally familiar with a cancer diagnosis and believe that every cancer patient deserves access to the best care. SOTERIA challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to cancer treatment by leveraging the power of an individual's data to identify personalized, targeted treatment plans and provides access to the most relevant advanced technology and treatment options from the convenience of your own home. Advancements in genomics have enabled personalized, targeted cancer therapy, leading to better outcomes. As medicine becomes more multi-modal, no one individual or institution can be the leading expert in all areas., nor can we rely on existing institutions to lead this effort because there is no economic incentive. SOTERIA is a neutral entity that is required to synthesize medical & scientific experts to bridge the gap to navigate the complexities of precision medicine and help alleviate patient and physician burden to generate better outcomes.
