It takes a village, and at the Leever Cancer Center we are both amazed and grateful for the caring, dedication, and generosity of the community that surrounds us. We extend our deep and heartfelt thanks to:

Volleyball players from Middlebury’s Westover School who, along with coach Dak Manella, made cards for Leever patients. Go Wildcats!
