Tower Cancer Research Foundation

The Tower Cancer Research Foundation not only provides funding for innovative research in the hopes of eradicating cancer for future generations, but also offers support to those currently facing a diagnosis. I’m moved by the strength and resiliency of the people we work with. Some have been living with a cancer diagnosis for many years, and it’s an honor to work with them and to benefit from their perspectives about what’s important in life.

I’m happy to say that 1st Century Bank joined us in our fight against cancer in 2014. 1st Century Bank believes in our mission. They understand how important our services are to the community, and the support we’ve received has been invaluable. We consider 1st Century Bank to be a partner in many ways. We work collaboratively throughout the year, and Scott Healy, our Relationship Manager, takes a personal approach to our relationship.

When COVID hit, everyone was scrambling, not knowing how they’d make payroll or pay rent. Scott was right there to shepherd us through the whole PPP process. In fact, it felt like he was able to get us right to the front of the line! And we continue to get a lot of attention from 1st Century Bank. They call, or we get an email — just to make sure things are running smoothly.
