The Bezos family committed $710.5 million over the next decade to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, building on their previous funding for immunotherapy research.

Mike and Jackie Bezos, the parents of billionaire Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos, have long been supporters of the institution, known as Fred Hutch, with the Bezos Family Immunotherapy Clinic opening there in 2016. It recently merged with clinical care partner Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
