The Israel Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) is proud to be an
official charity partner of the 2022 United Airlines NYC 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 $36,000. 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 2,600
grants totaling
more than $82
million to scientists
at leading Israeli institutions. In the current funding year, ICRF is
supporting 78
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.
