Bounce Back from Cancer is a partnership between The Miami HEAT and Baptist Health Foundation to raise critical funds to help the not-forprofit Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute achieve its vision of a world without cancer.
Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States. One in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. Bounce Back from Cancer is a movement to help defeat those statistics through community events.
As the region’s only cancer center selected as a Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Alliance member, Miami Cancer Institute is redefining collaboration between a globally-acclaimed cancer research institution and a community-based cancer center. Together, they combine expertise, insights, diagnostics, targeted therapies, advanced technologies, data and consultation, all for the benefit of cancer patients. Funds raised through Bounce Back from Cancer will help Miami Cancer Institute conduct breakthrough research and clinical trials that will lead to effective new treatments and eventually a cure.

“What could exemplify what we want to do in the community better than what we do with The Miami HEAT? There is more hope today than we’ve ever had about cancer treatment and actually curing this disease.”

“It takes a village to take care of a cancer patient, and we could not more proud of teaming up with The Miami HEAT, six years strong now, raising more money than ever.”
