While Duke Cancer Institute is pleased to be the beneficiary of fundraising events/activities held by outside entities, Duke Cancer Institute does not act as a sponsor of, advance monies or solicit sponsorship revenue for activities/events conducted by non-Duke entities. Duke Cancer Institute does not assume responsibility for the planning, publicity, or conduct of the event/activity, as those responsibilities remain solely with you as the entity organizing and holding the event/activity. We state this in advance so that there are not disappointments or misunderstandings with regards to our ability to participate with you and support your event.
