They ask professionals and amateurs alike to donate 1% of whatever they win at the WSOP. They've been extraordinarily successful over the last few years, raising over $1 million for a very worthy cause. It's a very fiscally responsible organization, nearly 86 cents from every dollar goes to the cancer research programs that they're funding. It's a great organization and they have most of the world's greatest players signed up. About the
Prevent Cancer Foundation:
The
Prevent Cancer Foundation
was started in 1985 when Founder and President Carolyn Aldige first understood the power of prevention to defeat cancer -- and recognized that too few of the country's resources were used to promote cancer prevention research or education. Today, it is one of the nation's leading health organizations and has catapulted cancer prevention to prominence. Since its inception the Foundation has provided more than $74 million in support of cancer prevention and early detection research and education programs. CRPF peer-reviewed grants have been awarded to more than 250 scientists from more than 150 of the leading academic medical centers nationwide. This research has been pivotal in developing a body of knowledge that is the basis for important cancer prevention and early detection strategies. |
