And if they are kept with discipline, they can turn your project into a sea change, and you as the triumphant hero who made it happen. What are they?

This month we shine the Arkus spotlight on one of our amazing nonprofit clients: Curebound, a 501c3 that raises and invests strategic funding into innovative cancer research at top research institutions. The Arkus team is proud to partner with Cureboud in implementing powerful technologies that aim to accelerate cancer research into cures. To date, Curebound has awarded more than $35 million in 115 grants through their unique grantmaking platform for collaborative adult and pediatric cancer research. Of that, $21 million has been raised through their incredible annual initiative of Padres Pedal the Cause. With sunny days ahead, and in recognition of Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness month, we encourage our community to learn more about Curebound's opportunities and join us in celebrating their recent positive impact in awarding a grant for the advancement of treatment of malignant melanoma through novel therapy which can reactivate properties of a patient’s own immune system.
