Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center thanks the many companies, organizations and individuals that generously and enthusiastically supported the inaugural Big Expedition for Cancer Research. Beginning with our initial conversations, the analogy between cancer research and mountain climbing was clearly understood. There are inevitable set-backs and exhilirating advances, but the goal remains paramount.

The support and partnership of these companies and individuals have helped raise awareness of the critical need for cancer research. In short, the Big Expedition would not have been possible without their support. We extend our sincere gratitude to each for joining us in our mission to eliminate cancer as a cause of human suffering and death.

The following companies generously outfitted and equipped the mountaineering team.
