The Cancer Project was created in 1991 as a special program of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. But it soon became clear that educating the public about cancer prevention and survival required a unique, independent focus. In 2004, The Cancer Project became its own 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This incorporation brings with it amazing opportunities for growth and the responsibility to raise funds to support an ambitious goal: Making cancer prevention a top priority for health care in the United States. We will need many, many friends to help us achieve this goal. Funding is needed to continue established initiatives that are vital to saving lives, including clinical research, outreach to the medical community, and our free Food for Life classes, which are now provided to cancer survivors and their friends and family in 23 states. We aim to educate as many people as possible about the risk of cancer and what they can do to protect themselves and their loved ones. We know that friendships develop over time. Because cancer will take the lives of more than half a million Americans this year, we don’t want to waste a minute. Every supporter of The Cancer Project is considered a treasure—we are only as effective as the resources we have available for nutrition research and education. We invite you to continue your support and help us make our relationship stronger. Together, we can be a powerful force against a deadly disease. If you have any questions about making a donation, please contact Betsy Wason at 202-244-5038, ext. 366, or bwason@cancerproject.org.
