• W2059619230 abstract "Cancer is a disease that continues to rob the world of love, laughter, and life. Jim Valvano, most remembered as a successful basketball coach and award-winning sports commentator, was forced to face this horrible disease when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer on June 15, 1992. Cancer was the first foe that refused to be vanquished by his enduring spirit. And yet, it is his very spirit that allows The V Foundation for Cancer Research to continue the battle against cancer today.In January of 1993, Steve Bornstein, then President of ESPN, and John Lack, then Executive Vice President of ESPN, invited Jim and Pam Valvano to lunch. Steve offered the support of ESPN in creating a foundation that would fund cancer research. Always the coach, Jim then began to develop a plan that would lead his team to victory. A simple yellow pad contained the initial game plan that would one day become the groundwork for The V Foundation. On March 4, 1993, Jim Valvano received the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at ESPN's first American Sports Award Show. The weakened Jim Valvano proved that the strength of his dream would endure as he announced that with the help of ESPN, he was starting The V Foundation for Cancer Research. He proclaimed that the motto would be “Don't Give Up… Don't Ever Give Up!” Jim died on April 28, 1993, but he had already set his dream in motion.Without a doubt, The V Foundation's mission to find a cure for cancer is predicated on generating the requisite funds to support research. Equally important is our ability to identify quality researchers, lend financial resources, and increase the awareness and visibility of the success of our funding process.The V Foundation distributes Requests for Proposals to the 60 National Cancer Institute designated facilities conducting cancer research. We also welcome proposals from other facilities conducting quality cancer research. After the proposals for funding are submitted, our Scientific Review Committee convenes to select the best available proposals and awards grants to researchers deemed most worthy from the candidate pool. The recipients of these 2-year $100,000 grants are designated as V Scholars. Our Scientific Review Committee not only annually reviews grant proposals, but also continues to identify new and alternative ways to become a leader in the field of cancer research. In 2000, The V Foundation will create a matching grant program that will include aspects of both translational and clinical research. Our existing and new funding initiatives will bring us one step closer to a cure.Today, The V Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors consisting of individuals from the world of sports, business, entertainment, and medicine. Since 1994, we have funded 52 research grants and four research facilities. Our Scientific Review Committee is comprised of an internationally recognized group of research physicians. The Foundation operates efficiently, with 74% of income available for research grants. Funding quality cancer research will continue to be our top priority.For more information regarding The V Foundation, please visit www.jimmyv.org or call 1-800-4-JimmyV." @default.
