Description: The Cancer Research Foundation is a tax-exempt, public charity created exclusively to raise funds to further and support cancer research.

Mission: Currently, more than 200 different types of cancer affect more than 1.3 million people a year. It seems obvious that more money should be dedicated to research and to finding a cure; but, unfortunately, this is not happening! Stretched thin between economic struggles and natural disasters, the federal government has been forced to dramatically curtail its current medical research funding (with cancer research taking the largest cut among all areas of the National Institutes of Health); in addition, the philanthropy community, although extremely generous, often overlooks the colder face of research in favor of easing the heart wrenching pain of a victim. The Cancer Research Foundation was established for the sole purpose of drawing attention to the need for cancer research and for raising funds for top research facilities across the nation.
