AACR Foundation for the Prevention and Cure of Cancer
Gifts both large and small allow the AACR and AACR Foundation to fund research vital to the fight against cancer. With decreases in government funding of cancer research, particularly grants to promising young researchers, the importance of filling this gap is of paramount significance. Our success is only possible through the support of many individuals and organizations who donate substantial resources to support AACR's mission to prevent and cure cancer through research, education and communication. This mission is clearly demonstrated by its support of scientists at all levels. In 2006, with the help of its major donors, AACR awarded $6.8 million in direct research funding, and is on track to deliver a similar amount in 2007. These grants are funded by gifts that span from hundreds of thousands of dollars, down to the change in your pocket. Each individual gift, no matter how large or small, brings researchers that much closer to finding a cure.
As a small token of our gratitude for these generous contributions, the AACR Foundation is pleased to provide recognition for our donors, who share the organization's commitment to the conquest of cancer.
