The Shingleton Society pays tribute to William W. Shingleton, MD, the founding director of Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, now known as Duke Cancer Institute.
Shingleton Society
The Shingleton Society honors the generosity of donors who have made a gift of $1,000 or more during our fiscal year, which runs July 1 through June 30. The impact of this philanthropy is significant as Duke Cancer Institute continues its quest to extend and improve the lives of all people with cancer.
This committed group of annual donors stands shoulder-to-shoulder with world-class physicians, researchers, and caregivers dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by cancer. We are grateful to every donor who has chosen to partner with us in our quest to change the rules on cancer. With your support, we are moving further, faster, and with greater purpose.
