Our Mission: TO BUILD A LONG-TERM ENDOWMENT TO SUPPORT THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
Mary Bird Perkins has been a leader in the fight against cancer for over 50 years. Endowed gifts provide long-term sustainability needed to advance cancer care and provide vital resources across the continuum of care. We are committed to offering world-class oncology services, provided by a team of experts who are 100% focused on cancer. Together we triumph!
A Legacy Realized: SECURING TOMORROW’S CANCER CARE — TODAY
When we launched the Legacy Challenge just a few short years ago, we did so with a bold and ambitious vision: to grow the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Foundation endowment to $50 million by 2025. This goal was rooted in our unwavering belief that the future of cancer care should be just as strong, compassionate, and innovative as the care we provide today.
Thanks to your generosity, we’ve not only reached that goal—we’ve done so ahead of schedule.
But this milestone represents far more than a number. For me, it’s deeply personal.
I’ve had the unique opportunity to experience Mary Bird Perkins from two perspectives: first, as a grateful patient, and later, as a member of the Foundation Board. I know firsthand the impact your support makes— because I’ve lived it.
Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. What began with surgery evolved into a longer journey that led me to Mary Bird Perkins for radiation therapy. I’ll never forget the compassion of my oncologist, the expertise of the technicians, and the kindness of the entire care team. They didn’t just treat my cancer—they treated me like family.
My care team had a profound impact on my life, but it was the 42 days I spent in the Radiation Oncology waiting room that truly transformed me. During that time, I connected with fellow patients and their families, listened to their stories, and shared in their fears, hopes, and dreams. What started as a daily obligation quickly became something I looked forward to—an opportunity to be part of a community bound by resilience and compassion.
After completing my treatment, I felt compelled to give back. I picked up the phone and asked how I could help advance the mission. That call led me to the Foundation Board, where I’ve had the honor of working alongside passionate leaders committed to the same cause that changed my life.
Already, these funds are expanding access to screenings and prevention, driving innovation like Adaptive Radiation Therapy, and helping us attract and retain the region’s most talented specialists.
My wife, Cary, and I are profoundly grateful to witness this world-class care—and equally grateful to each of you for making it possible. This progress doesn’t happen by chance. It happens because people like you believe in a future where everyone has access to the best possible cancer care. You understand that investing in cancer care is investing in the health and strength of our communities—across every family, every neighborhood, every parish, and every generation.
On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, thank you. Your support plays an essential role in redefining what’s possible for cancer care in the Gulf region.
The Legacy Challenge is proof that when we come together with vision and compassion, we can secure tomorrow’s cancer care—today.
With deep gratitude,

YOUR ACCESS IS OUR MISSION
For Dr. Constance Blunt, the fight against cancer starts long before a diagnosis. As an oncologist at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center and the Medical Director for its Prevention on the Go (POGO) program, she is equally at home in an exam room, accompanying the mobile team in the heart of a rural Louisiana town or providing an educational presentation to community members.
Her path to prevention work was shaped both by her medical training in underserved areas and by personal experiences. She remembers a close family friend—a young, hardworking mother—whose ovarian cancer was discovered too late. “I’ve seen how life can get in the way of care,” Dr. Blunt says. “Work, kids, transportation—it all adds up. And those delays can change everything.”
That understanding drives her commitment to POGO’s expansion into Central and North Louisiana. In many of these communities, specialty care is hours away, and primary care is scarce.
POGO meets people where they are, offering free cancer screenings, along with navigation services to connect patients to follow-up care quickly, if needed. One case stands out in Dr. Blunt’s mind: a woman in her 30s who felt a lump in her breast but was told it would be weeks before she could see a doctor. “She called POGO and had a mammogram the next day,” Dr. Blunt recalls. “Within two weeks, she was meeting with a physician to start treatment. That speed made a real difference for her.”
For Dr. Blunt, these are more than medical wins—they’re moments that ripple through communities. “When someone gets screened and understands why it matters, they share that with family and friends. That’s how awareness spreads,” she says.
This work also feeds her own sense of purpose. “Oncology can be heavy work,” she admits. “But going into a community, talking with people, helping them prevent cancer—it’s incredibly rewarding. It’s one of the parts of my job that brings joy and balance.”
She credits donors with making this reach possible. “Our healthcare system alone can’t close every gap,” Dr. Blunt says. “Donor support is what allows us to expand, to hire more staff, to add new services. Every person we screen is here because someone cared enough to give.”
“Some of my patients travel two, even two-and-a-half hours to see a doctor,” she explains. “For someone who’s sick, that’s not just inconvenient—it can be impossible.”
With every mobile unit deployed and every community served, POGO brings Mary Bird Perkins’ mission closer to home—proving that early detection and prevention can happen anywhere.

YOUR PROGRESS IS OUR FOCUS
The first time Krystal Kirby, PhD, learned about the Elekta Unity system, she knew it would change everything.
A physicist with a passion for imaging, Dr. Kirby graduated from Mary Bird Perkins and LSU’s Dr. Charles M. Smith Medical Physics Program before completing her residency elsewhere. So when the chance came to return to Mary Bird Perkins as a diagnostic physicist, she embraced it— joining the launch of one of the most innovative radiation programs in the country. “When I came on board, my role as a diagnostic physicist was a bit of an unknown,” says Dr. Kirby. “But there was a sense that we were on the cusp of something transformative.”
That transformation came to life with the launch of Adaptive Radiation Therapy—a groundbreaking approach to cancer care made possible by the generosity of Mary Bird Perkins donors. At its core, adaptive therapy allows clinicians to see a patient’s anatomy in real time and change the treatment plan while the patient is on the table. Instead of relying on scans taken weeks before, treatment adapts in the moment— offering unmatched precision, especially for cancers that move with the body, like those in the lungs or abdomen.
“Cancer doesn’t stand still,” Kirby explains. “Now, our treatment doesn’t have to either.” Generous donor support helped Mary Bird Perkins acquire the Elekta Unity—one of only a few dozen in the entire country, and the only one in Louisiana. This technology fuses highresolution MRI with radiation therapy, allowing for unprecedented accuracy. It also reduces the number of treatments dramatically. Instead of needing dozens of sessions, some patients now complete therapy in just three to five visits.
That’s life-changing for patients who must travel long distances or navigate barriers to care. “We see patients every day who would’ve struggled to make it through traditional treatment plans,” Dr. Kirby says. “This technology removes those barriers.”
Beyond the clinical benefits, the emotional impact is profound. “When patients realize they can get through this in a matter of days, not weeks, it transforms how they feel about their diagnosis. It brings hope,” she says.
Today, Dr. Kirby continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible—mentoring students, leading safety efforts, and conducting research into the future of image-guided therapy. But she’s quick to credit the source of progress.
“This doesn’t happen without donors,” she says. “Their investment brought this program to life. And every patient who walks through our doors benefits because of their investment in the future of cancer care.”

YOUR GENEROSITY IS OUR FUTURE Legacy
For Rebecca and Dyke Nelson, supporting Mary Bird Perkins has always been more than a financial contribution—it’s a family commitment.
Their journey with the Cancer Center began more than 20 years ago, when a friend invited Rebecca to help plan a fundraising event. “At the time, it was their only fundraiser,” she recalls. “But once we understood the impact Mary Bird Perkins was making—not just the quality of care, but the reach into underserved communities—we knew this was something we wanted to be part of long-term.”
Over the decades, the couple’s involvement deepened. Rebecca joined the Foundation’s board of directors in 2017, eventually serving as Director Emeritus and joining the Cancer Center board in 2023. Together, she and Dyke established a named endowed fund—an enduring expression of their belief in the mission, and a commitment to ensuring its future.
But this isn’t just their legacy. It’s a family one.
With three children entering adulthood, the couple has made it a priority to model what community stewardship looks like. “We’ve always told our kids, this is our family’s investment— not just ours,” Dyke says. “We want them to understand that giving is about responsibility, not just resources.”
From helping with fundraising events to contributing in their own ways, the next generation is learning what it means to support a cause that matters. And by involving them in the decision to create an endowed fund, Rebecca and Dyke are laying the groundwork for a lasting, generational impact.
They also want others to know that building a legacy is more accessible than it may seem.
“This was a stretch gift for us,” Rebecca shares. “But the Foundation made it easy and approachable. And thanks to matching opportunities, we were able to make a more significant impact than we ever thought possible.”
Their hope is clear: that their fund will help expand access to care for patients who might otherwise fall through the cracks—those without insurance, without transportation, or without the means to navigate a complex healthcare system on their own. “This is about more than just our family,” Dyke says. “It’s about our community and our responsibility to one another.”
Together, the legacy they’re building is not just about giving back. It’s about building forward for future prevention, treatment and support service transformations.

YOUR CARE IS OUR FOCUS
Courtney Nuckolls had just turned 40 when she found a lump.
She wasn’t scheduled for a mammogram until later that summer—but something in her gut told her not to wait. “Absolutely not,” she said. “I called Mary Bird Perkins.”
What happened next is a story of care, speed, and compassion. “I knew from when I worked on the Cancer Center’s philanthropy team how committed they are to the community. But when I became the patient, it all became very real.”
Within days of reaching out, Courtney was connected to the Cancer Center’s renowned Prevention on the Go screening program. “I had a Saturday screening, watched my son graduate on Monday, and by Tuesday morning, I was at Woman’s Hospital,” she says. That level of rapid response—and the seamless collaboration between providers—set the tone for the care that followed.
The diagnosis: six cancerous masses in both breasts. Two different types of cancer. One of the tumors Courtney had detected turned out to be the least of her doctors’ concerns. Some of the others were the size of a grain of sugar—tiny, but aggressive. And yet, thanks to early screening and fast follow-up care, she caught it in time.
That access mattered. Courtney had recently left her job and was navigating a high-deductible insurance plan. “I had just stepped away from work and didn’t know what was coming next,” she says. “Looking back, it was a blessing. Six weeks later, I was facing a cancer diagnosis. When I turned to Mary Bird Perkins, they said, ‘This is what we do. We’ve got you.’ And they did—every step of the way.”
Donor-supported programs helped Courtney receive timely screening, navigation, and aggressive treatment—right when she needed it most. Now in remission, she’s a caregiver for her mother, a youth mentor at her church, and a proud mom to Ethan, who was by her side for every single appointment.
“Everyone’s story is different,” she says. “But I know mine could have gone another way if Mary Bird Perkins hadn’t been there. Donors make that possible—for me and for so many others. They make sure you’re not facing a cancer diagnosis alone.”
