Curebound

Accelerating Cancer Research into Cures

Curebound is a 501c3 that brings the top cancer research institutions in San Diego together in a collaborative effort to accelerate cancer research into cures.

 Launched in 2021, Curebound represents a partnership and expansion of two highly respected local cancer organizations - Padres Pedal the Cause and the Immunotherapy Foundation, that have united to broaden the reach and impact of our mission. Together, we have collectively raised over $23 million since 2013 to fund more than 80+ cancer research projects between San Diego’s exceptional research institutions including UC San Diego Health, Salk Institute, Rady Children’s Hospital, Sanford Burnham Prebys, La Jolla Institute for Immunology and Scripps Research.

 Founded with a deeply held belief that cures are possible, our mission and vision is to accelerate cures in our lifetime, so that the next generation doesn’t have to experience a cancer diagnosis in the frightening way that too many of us do now.  We believe that the next decade will be critical to the development of sophisticated, individualized cancer treatment and the largest opportunity ever seen to advance the way we treat and ultimately cure cancer.  With all its unique resources, San Diego is poised to become a global hub of cancer research and the city where cures begin.

 Targeting areas of research where the greatest opportunities exist, Curebound is committed to investing $100 million into collaborative cancer research in San Diego to accelerate discovery and improve the lives of patients today.
