Rutledge Cancer Foundation

Supported by a gift of $250,000 from the Rutledge Cancer Foundation, the Fertility Preservation Program continues the Moncrief Cancer Institute’s mission of easing the burden of cancer.

Created in 2016, the program educates, coordinates care, and provides financial assistance for adolescents and young adults who want to protect future possibilities of having children before undergoing radiation or other cancer treatments that may cause infertility. The Foundation supports adolescent and young adult cancer patients at Moncrief Cancer Institute and the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center through their adolescent and young adult patient events and Carly’s Closet Program, which provides age-appropriate comfort items and resources to newly diagnosed patients.
