2024 Charity Partner – Minnesota Head & Neck Cancer Foundation

Head & Neck Cancer Foundation

The Head & Neck Cancer Foundation was started by an Oral Surgeon, Dr. Deepak Kademani, in 2020 to raise awareness to this important cause. Head and neck cancers affect over 65,000 people in the United States annually. The key to improving outcomes is awareness, early screening, and early diagnosis. The foundation hosts screening events throughout Minnesota, April awareness lighting events, and educational opportunities throughout the year. We encourage patients, providers, family, friends, and supporters to join us in fundraising for this amazing organization.
