Pillar 03
Research
Supporting the research that aims to close the survival gap.
Why colorectal cancer
A treatable disease, when caught in time.
Colorectal cancer kills about 50,000 Americans every year. It is highly preventable when caught early and increasingly treatable when caught late — but the survival gap between a Stage I diagnosis and a Stage IV diagnosis remains stark. Research closes that gap.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is one of the leading institutions in the world for colorectal cancer research and treatment. Fred's Team is its athletic fundraising program.
How we give
A focused channel into MSK.
The foundation supports colorectal cancer research at MSK through Fred's Team at the TCS New York City Marathon. Gifts designated to cancer research are directed to MSK colorectal cancer research through that channel.
Why this channel
One institution, one disease.
Fred's Team raises funds for research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Routing the foundation's cancer giving through it keeps that giving focused on one institution and one disease: colorectal cancer.
