Where
the money goes...
• Provide critical
laboratory equipment needed to study new drugs and their effects
on specific tumors.
• Establish fellowships for
gifted scientists involved in research identifying new
treatments for all types of cancer.
The Brander Cancer Research Institute focuses on the development
of new drug and treatment programs for all forms of cancer.
Funds provided by THIS CLOSE have been used to provide critical
laboratory equipment needed to study new drugs and their effects
on specific tumors. Funds are used to establish fellowships for
gifted scientists involved in research identifying new
treatments for all types of cancer. Perhaps the most important
use of funds is for start-up of new projects. These experiments
provide preliminary data with which to solicit major funding and
research grants from the National Cancer Institute, The Cancer
Research Foundation of America, the National Institute of Health
and other organizations. In the past year alone, over a dozen
scientific articles have been accepted for publications in
scholarly journals and have been made possible directly or in
part by funds provided by THIS CLOSE.

Our
purpose and commitment...
"...That we and our
children live in a cancer free world." |
It's Our 11th Anniversary & More Than Ever We're THIS
CLOSE
Our National Chairman, Michael Bolton, would like to remind us
that though the year has changed our THIS CLOSE dream hasn't:
"That we and our children live in a cancer free
world."
This year, THIS CLOSE has resolved to increases its funding for
the outstanding work of The Brander Cancer Research Institute to
bring us even closer to a cure.
Over the past fourteen years, we have raised over $1.2 million
dollars. We are totally dedicated to this fight and realize now
more than ever that we must support research to find a cure for
this dreaded disease. All the proceeds go directly to fund
Cancer Research at the Brander Cancer Research Institute at the
New York Medical College. There is no shortage of scientists-
only funds. Help research find the cure; your contribution does
make a difference.
