The Woman's Cancer Association of the University of Miami

The Woman’s Cancer Association has four goals that have remained constant since its inception in 1959. These include educating the community, disseminating information on cancer advances, earning and distributing funds to agencies engaged in cancer welfare, and working in other fields that assist and promote cancer control.

The WCA supports cancer research at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and supports physicians and scientists who treat both pediatric and adult patients. One of the organization’s highlights of the last 40 years has been the establishment of the Pearl M. and Edwin L. Powell Woman’s Cancer Association Endowment Fund. Cancer research programs at Sylvester are funded by interest generated from the endowment. For more information, call 305-643-2945.
