The Israel
Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) is proud to be an official charity partner
of the 2023 United Airlines New York City Half Marathon.
Together, we are fundraising to support groundbreaking cancer research
conducted by the best and brightest scientists at leading institutions
throughout Israel, with a team goal of $15,000. Our goal is to end
the suffering caused by cancer.
ICRF
invests in the most promising Israeli scientists to advance ways to prevent,
diagnose and treat cancer. To date, ICRF has funded over 2,700 grants totaling
more than $87.5 million to scientists at leading Israeli institutions. In
the current funding year, ICRF is supporting 83 promising cancer research
projects, making us the largest nongovernmental funder of cancer research
in Israel.
Thanks
to the generosity of partners like you, ICRF is driving major breakthroughs in
cancer science. ICRF-funded scientists have been instrumental in the
development of breakthrough FDA-approved drugs Gleevec®, Doxil® and Velcade® and include the first two Israeli Nobel Prize
Laureates in Chemistry. ICRF grantees continue to be at the forefront of cancer
discoveries in nanomedicine, immunotherapy, stem cell research and targeted
therapies.
We are truly grateful we have friends like you who
are supporting ICRF today, so that our funded scientists can find tomorrow’s
cures.
The answer to cancer is research!
