Every day, millions of people and their families experience the devastating effects of cancer. World Cancer Day falls on February 4th each year and raises awareness surrounding the global fight to cure cancer. The following US-based organizations are doing the critical and important work to find the cure for cancer of all types through research, advocacy, and global collaboration. Your donation to this Fund will help these nonprofits continue their search for a cure while providing support to and hope to those impacted by cancer.

Children are our hope. However 43 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer every day (as per St. Jude's). Little federal funding is allocated to pediatric cancer compared to adult cancer. The advances in pediatric cancer research can alter the therapies of that of young adults and influence adult cancer. We would like to set up this fund to help Dana Farber Cancer Institute fund novel therapeutics for pediatric cancers, especially for liquid tumors like Leukemia.

A fund for others, driven by the the WEST and those in our lives. Happy Holidays. We can make a difference even when we're unable to provide with our own hands, and social impact not only works to achieve the mission—it empowers individuals to effect change. Mobilizing people to make the world a better place for all of us. It feels good.

Gary Dingman had been at Cisco for 17 years before loosing his valiant fight against pancreatic cancer. Gary had asked that instead of flowers to donate to cancer research, so in his honor we are collecting donations for The Center for Gastrointestinal Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where Gary was being treated.
