Today over 11 million people are Cancer Survivors. We plan on raising 1 million dollars for Pediatric and Lung Cancer Research. Our goal is to finance research grants to All Children's Hospital (St. Petersburg, FL) and Moffitt Cancer Center (Tampa, FL).
To make an individual donation to benefit a family member or friend that is a cancer survivor or just to simply help us reach our goal of 1 million dollars please visit the
V Foundation for Cancer Research.
The V Foundation for Cancer Research was started in 1993 to honor Jim Valvano. From very humble beginnings of Jim's personal friends and family, The Foundation grew.
Today, that circle of friends has expanded and the support structure of The Foundation includes people of all walks of life, those who knew Jim personally, those who knew of Jim and many who have joined the cause simply because they believe in the possibility of Jim's final wish - to fund research to find cures for cancer.
The V Foundation takes great pride in its fiscal responsibility and is proud to announce that it gives 100 percent of all new direct cash donations to cancer research and related programs.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart as your dollars will help us immensely in reaching Jimmy's goal of stamping out this disease.
