Dempsey Center

We had another incredible opportunity this week to connect with fellows and doctors at MaineHealth Cancer Care in South Portland, along with our dear friend Trevor Maxwell of MAN UP TO CANCER. We always love the chance to spread the word about our mission, the services we provide, and how we can work with traditional medicine to make life better for anyone impacted by a cancer diagnosis. And we'd love to come talk to your business, organization, or healthcare facility, too! Reach out to our Marketing and Communications Director, Katelynn, to learn more-- [email protected]

It's always a win to work with incredible partners like Noom and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to help make life better for people impacted by cancer. Our greatest thanks to Noom for including us in this study opportunity!

He played major league baseball in the '80s as an outfielder and first baseman; led the Boston Red Sox to their first World Series Championship since 1918 in 2004 as the Manager; and won the AL Manager of the Year award three times. He is coming to Maine to participate in the 2024 Drive Fore Kids Celebrity Golf Tournament and we are excited to share that he will also be a special guest at our gala-- In Good Taste @ The Landing at Pine Point! We are elated to have Terry Francona join us at our In Good Taste Gala on June 20th and experience the gastronomic delights prepared by our esteemed chefs while hearing directly from our Founder and clients about the impact the Dempsey Center has had on them.

We are delighted and thrilled to share that Unum is the new Presenting Sponsor of 5k Run/Walk event at Dempsey Challenge!   The connection between the Dempsey Center, Dempsey Challenge, and Unum spans several years through both corporate and employee support. Their team has participated in Challenge events; volunteered leading up to and on the day of Challenge; and some have been part of our Board and Dempsey Center Committees (like Karen Bradbury, a founding Dempsey Center Board Member, pictured right). In so many ways, Unum has been committed to our mission and dedicated to helping cancer patients, survivors, care partners, and their loved ones access high-quality, no-cost support through their cancer experience.   This partnership, spanning over the next three years, continues to show Unum's incredible depth of commitment and dedication.   From all of us at the Dempsey Center, thank you for Rallying Together and helping make life better for people impacted by cancer. We are so very grateful! www.DempseyChallenge.org
