Donor Recognition

AACR Foundation for the Prevention and Cure of Cancer

Gifts both large and small allow the AACR and the 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, communication, and collaboration. This mission is clearly demonstrated by its support of scientists at all levels.

As a small token of our gratitude, the AACR Foundation is pleased to provide recognition to our donors for fiscal year 2011, who share the organization's commitment to the conquest of cancer.
