The well-being of people in all corners of the world relies upon the dedicated work of laboratories and researchers, often funded by nonprofit organizations and donations by individuals. Many CFC charities support medical research to help find cures for rare diseases and chronic conditions and prepare for the next pandemic. These charities act as liaisons between labs, scientists, governments, and communities – identifying new viruses, helping patients, funding trials, publishing results, and distributing drugs so the public can have equitable access to the latest healthcare options. In fact, due to this research today there are over 17 million cancer survivors, the most in history.
Here’s how your CFC donations help to change the world in the field of medical research:
-
$100 prints 400 guides to teach caregivers how to protect children from skin cancer.
-
$200 funds 2 hours of research to accelerate a cure for brain cancer.
-
$240 sponsors a lab scientist for one day of disease-specific research.
