Keep Pounding Fund

The Panthers have a history of supporting Atrium Health’s cancer programs through Keep Pounding – an initiative established in 2003 to honor former players Sam Mills and Mark Fields, who had both been recently diagnosed with cancer.

The Keep Pounding Fund supports cancer research efforts throughout Atrium Health. Since its inception, the Keep Pounding Fund has raised nearly $3.5 million to help support cancer programs at Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute and Atrium Health Levine Children’s.

You can help make life better for a cancer patient, spread awareness, and contribute to vital research. Donations to the Keep Pounding Fund support wellness outreach programs, clinical research, and equipment, as well as new technologies and treatments. Your support enables both Levine Cancer Institute and Levine Children’s to be able to offer new Phase I and Phase II clinical trials. Thanks to these clinical trials, families have access to the most advanced treatments available where it matters most – close to home.
