The V Foundation for Cancer Research
The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded in 1993 by ESPN and
the late Jim Valvano, legendary North Carolina State basketball
coach and ESPN commentator. Since 1993, The Foundation has raised
more than $70 million to fund cancer research grants nationwide. It
awards 100 percent of all new direct cash donations and net proceeds
of events directly to cancer research and related programs. The
Foundation, which has received five consecutive top 4-star ratings
from Charity Navigator, awards grants through a competitive awards
process strictly supervised by a Scientific Review Committee. For
