In 2023, the Chike Springer Foundation forged robust partnerships that expanded its reach and impact within the cancer landscape. Collaborations with healthcare institutions, research organizations, Veteran-focused groups, and corporate entities enabled the foundation to advance its research initiatives and amplify awareness campaigns. These strategic alliances strengthened the foundation's ability to fund innovative cancer research, fostering a unified effort to improve outcomes and quality of life for patients battling lymphoma and their families.

As Women's History Month winds to a close, we take this moment to honor and recognize these extraordinary women who have broken barriers and developed groundbreaking advancements in cancer research. Their bravery, tenacity, and ingenuity are inspiring. We must put our efforts toward raising awareness of the institutional sexism they contended with and understanding how implicit biases can lead to unequal access and outcomes in health care.
