How We Got Here…

Spell the End of Cancer is an annual cancer fundraising event in memory of our dear friend, neighbor, and Scrabble enthusiast extraordinaire Ann Brewster Jones. Following Ann’s death from pancreatic cancer in February 2010, a group of her friends collaborated to organize the first annual Spell the End of Cancer event. This evening of word fun and good company is now held annually, with all proceeds benefiting Stand Up To Cancer, an organization dedicated to accelerating groundbreaking cancer research and encouraging collaboration instead of competition.

To date, we have raised over $75,000. Thank you to everyone who has donated thus far. If you would like to join in our efforts and help Spell the End of Cancer, please click the Donate Now button.
