The Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center announce the launch of 41st Annual Prouty. Northern New England’s largest family-friendly fundraising event is BACK and IN-PERSON on July 8-9, 2022! Registration is now open for the 41st Annual Prouty, benefiting life-saving cancer research and patient and family support services at Dartmouth and Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC).
“We are thrilled to launch the 41st Prouty and bring our community back together again,” says Steven D. Leach, MD, director of NCCC. “The Prouty has a profound impact at our Cancer Center. It allows us to give compassionate, disease-specific care to our patients close to their homes. It allows us to fuel ground-breaking cancer research and bring clinical trials to this region. The Prouty has a direct impact on the lives of neighbors and friends, and we are extremely grateful to the entire Prouty community for their continued support.”
The Prouty began in 1982 when four NCCC nurses, inspired by the courage of their patient, Audrey Prouty, committed to cycling 100 miles through the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Over the past 41 years, thousands of passionate individuals have come together to bike, walk, row, golf, and more to help end cancer. Since its inception, the Prouty has raised more than $52 million to support cancer research and patient support services. Thank you to all that have made this possible!
“Plans are underway for this year’s Prouty and we are excited to bring our traditional in-person event back in 2022 with new enhancements,” shares Jaclynn Rodriguez, Executive Director for the Friends of NCCC. “The Prouty is a true celebration of our community coming together to make a difference and bring hope to patients and families impacted by cancer. Join us as we go all in to end cancer – there is something for everyone in this year’s Prouty!”
The Prouty will take place on July 8-9, 2022 and participation options include cycling, walking, rowing, golfing, and the Prouty Ultimate (2 days cycling 200 miles). Virtual participation is also available and encouraged for anyone who can’t, or would prefer not to, attend the live event.
Health and safety are top priorities. Event plans and logistics will be based on local public health guidelines to ensure a safe experience for all participants and volunteers. COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions continue to evolve, and more details on protocols and plans will be shared in the spring at www.theprouty.org.
