Named in memory of Patrick Dempsey’s mother Amanda Dempsey, the award is presented to a cancer survivor who has a passion for helping Mainers with cancer. Although Amanda was reserved and humble, she had a warm presence, and was passionate about giving back to her community. 

Nominations for the 2020 Amanda Dempsey Award presented by Amgen Oncology will be accepted through August 15.
