Communications and Digital Marketing Internship

The National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1973 to support cancer research and public education relating to the prevention, early diagnosis, better treatments and, ultimately, a cure for cancer. NFCR promotes and facilitates collaboration among scientists to accelerate the pace of discovery from bench to bedside. NFCR is committed to Research for a Cure– cures for all types of cancer. Learn more about NFCR at www.NFCR.org. Play4TheCure is the NFCR's sports-fundraising initiative. The program inspires athletes and their teams to leverage their passion for sports to “Play4” loved ones affected by cancer and encourages them to actively fundraise for NFCR to make a difference. 100% of what teams fundraise through Play4TheCure is donated to cancer research.
