Past Events

Team Cure Cholangio is a dedicated 501(c)(3) organization committed to raising awareness, funding critical research, and advancing the path toward a cure for Cholangiocarcinoma, also known as Bile Duct Cancer. This rare and aggressive cancer, once thought to affect primarily older men, now impacts individuals of all ages, including young children, with cases rising alarmingly in both men and women. Due to its challenging diagnosis, limited treatment options, and often poor prognosis, Cholangiocarcinoma presents a serious and growing public health crisis predicted to become one of the leading causes of cancer death by 2040.

​

Our mission is clear: to fund and accelerate research that can improve diagnostic methods, expand treatment options, and ultimately find a cure for Cholangiocarcinoma. With every dollar we raise directed exclusively toward research, we aim to transform the outlook for patients and families affected by this devastating disease. Through our efforts, we envision a future where Cholangiocarcinoma is no longer a crisis but a conquered challenge.
