William I. Spencer Fund in Head and Neck Cancer

Dear Friends,

Twelve years ago, we began fundraising efforts to establish the William I. Spencer Fund in Head and Neck Cancer at NYU Langone Medical Center. Since then, the Spencer Fund has raised over $2 million toward recruitment of talented professionals, advances in surgical techniques, no-cost early-detection screenings, and sophisticated research programs. Friends like you have enabled extraordinary progress at NYU Langone Medical Center’s newly-renamed Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center and directly impacted healthcare here and around the globe. We are grateful to have such a committed community to help us build a remarkable legacy for Bill and to spur new developments in head and neck cancer medicine. Thank you!

Today, we remain equally dedicated to our original goal of fostering the groundbreaking work of our head and neck cancer team. I am excited to share with you that the team has now grown to include five world-class surgeons and has moved to a new home on the 7th Floor of the Perlmutter Cancer Center at 160 East 34th Street.

We welcome you to visit the new center and see for yourself the amazing work that is being done. We hope you will continue to partner with us in Bill’s memory to bring further advances in the diagnosis, treatment, care and cure for those dealing with this terrible disease.

Warmest regards,

Susan Namm Spencer
