Patrick Dempsey Charity Work, Events and Causes

Patrick Dempsey donated $250,000 towards a cancer center at the Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, Maine, in 2008.

Dempsey was born at the hospital, and his mother Amanda has successfully been treated there for ovarian cancer. The facility is called the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing.

He holds an annual bike race to raise funds for the center.

In April 2012, Patrick helped rescue a 17-year-old man after a car crash. Weston Masset’s Musting flipped three times and landed in the front yard of Dempsey’s Malibu home. Patrick rushed outside and helped free the teenager from the wreckage, and called paramedics and the man’s mother.
