When you consider cancer statistics, the numbers are shocking:

• Over 1.5 million people are diagnosed with cancer in the United States per year – that’s 5,000 people every single day.

• Despite improved detection and treatment options, 600,000 people die from cancer every year in the United States

• Cancer is the #1 cause of death for middle-aged Americans

Cancer is a dreaded disease that affects millions of individuals and families around the world. At Booksio, cancer has impacted our families, friends, and colleagues, so this fight is personal. That’s why we’re donating 10% of all sales for the month of May to three worthwhile organizations. Each of the following charities combines research with patient care with the express hope of one day ridding the world of cancer. 

City of Hope

With locations in California, Arizona, Illinois, and Georgia, our 11,000-person team City of Hope has a mission to transform the future of cancer care. By unifying the branches of biomedical research, treatment and academia, City of Hope helps treatment advances travel from laboratory to patient with life-saving speed.

Dana-Farber Institute

Pioneering chemical therapies to treat children with leukemia since 1947, Dana-Farber’s groundbreaking path of research, discovery, and innovation have revolutionized cancer diagnosis and treatment, for the benefit of all our patients, adult and pediatric. Their equal emphasis on patient care and research means leading-edge research is informed by patient care and vice versa.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

For over 75 years, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has been dedicated to curing leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and other blood cancers. LLS is the world's largest voluntary (nonprofit) health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services.
