About the VICC Ambassadors
Who We Are
VICC Ambassadors formed in 2009 thanks to the support of the VICC Board of Overseers and its chair, Orrin Ingram. These young professionals have a shared passion for fighting cancer and commitment to Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. By raising money for the Victory Over Cancer Fund and awarding discovery grants to promising investigators, Ambassadors are sparking the development of research initiatives to improve outcomes for patients. Since its formation, VICC Ambassadors have awarded more than $1 million in discovery grants.
