A Message from Julie Brander:

This close was founded in 1990 by three very special individuals.  My husband, Joel Brander, and our friends Dr. Zalmen Arlin, who established the cancer research institute at New York Medical College and Joe Tendler, who developed our logo.  Although our founders lost their battles with cancer all of us at This Close and the Brander Cancer Research Institute (BCRI) continue in their dedicated fight against the disease. The past decade as seen tremendous gains in our understanding of cancer.  Research is providing new approaches to therapy, prolonging life, and curing more and more cancers.  All funds will go directly to the Brander Cancer research Institute, a pioneer and leader in Cancer research.  Protocols developed at BCRI are being used by leading medical facilities worldwide.

We are asking you to help us work toward a cancer free world.  We ARE THIS CLOSE and only you can help us get even closer.
