Soroptimist International of Fairfax County (SIFC) presented a check for $2,000 to the Schar Cancer Institute at its annual awards dinner on May 15, 2019.  The donation supports the caring, treatment and research services provided by this new facility to cancer patients in Northern Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia and beyond.

The Institute, which just opened the doors to its new building in mid-May, is a “state-of-the-art cancer center in the Washington, DC metro area designed to bring healing and hope to every patient. Inova Schar gives patients unmatched logistical, clinical and emotional support. Our team of nationally renowned doctors, specialists, surgeons, genetic counselors, nurses and caregivers are backed by the latest in drug discovery, clinical trials, research and advanced treatments.”
