PLAN A FUNDRAISER
cureMEC is leading the charge
initiating and funding the only research projects in the world focused specifically on Myoepithelial Carcinoma (MEC). As a rare and often overlooked cancer, MEC has gone without dedicated research for far too long. But we’re changing that — and we need your help.
This research can only move forward at the pace we’re able to fund it. By organizing a community fundraiser, you can help accelerate real progress toward better treatments — and ultimately, a cure for MEC.
We believe fundraising should feel meaningful and personal — and we’re here to help you turn something you love into a powerful way to support MEC research. Whether it’s a birthday fundraiser, a 5K, a bake sale, a live music event, a golf tournament, or something entirely your own, your efforts will directly support the first-ever research initiatives focused on MEC.
No idea is too big or too small — and you won’t be doing it alone.
Interested? Contact us with your idea and let’s make it happen.
Why Fundraise for MEC Research?
MEC is a rare and underfunded cancer — but together, we can change that. Every dollar raised through community fundraisers supports urgently needed research, advances treatment options, and brings us one step closer to a cure.
Fundraising is more than raising money — it’s about building a community of hope, support, and action.
When you host a fundraiser — no matter the size — you’re doing something extraordinary. You’re creating moments of joy and connection while bringing real hope to MEC patients and families everywhere.
