Springfield Plastics' Drain for the Cure

By Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center

We know that research cures cancer. IU has done it before: Nearly five decades ago, an IU team led by Lawrence Einhorn, MD, developed the cure for testis cancer. Your gift to the IU Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center fund enables these kinds of advances by supporting research, education, and clinical programs at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Additional Information

100% of every donation raised will support research, education, and clinical programs at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center. Thanks to the generous donations received through last year’s efforts, we were able to donate $29,000 to support those programs in Indiana. This year Springfield Plastics is increasing our match for donations up to $15,000!

Like so many of us, Springfield Plastics has been affected by cancer, whether it touched family members or employees. After losing an important family member to breast cancer, our family-oriented business decided to turn our personal tragedy into a passion: Drain for the Cure.

The annual fundraiser is held throughout the month of October, and Springfield Plastics reaches out to customers, vendors, business partners, and the communities we serve to raise money for cancer research and prevention. While the Drain for the Cure campaign runs across several states, all funds raised from Indiana-based donations go to the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center.
