Canary Foundation works with various private and public foundations to make accurate early detection of all cancers a reality.
Listwin Family Foundation
The Listwin Family Foundation, LFF, is a private foundation that invests in early detection of cancer research and international education development. The foundation has pledged over $30M in the past 5 years to institutions including the University of Saskatchewan, Netaid and Room to Read in the education arena. In early detection of cancer, LFF has pledged over $22M and supports Canary projects directly in institutions such as Stanford and also supports the Canary Foundation.
Lung Cancer Foundation Partnerships
The Thomas G. Labrecque Foundation is committed to preventing lung cancer through education and research. It was founded in 2002 by the Labrecque family in honor of Tom's memory. At the age of 62 the former Chairman of Chase, a non-smoker, died from lung cancer. Tom's family and friends initiated the Thomas G. Labrecque Classic, "Run as One" event, with the hopes of raising lung cancer awareness and vital research dollars to find a cure. For more information about the Thomas G. Labrecque Foundation visit www.tglclassic.com or call 212-651-6420.
Pancreatic Foundation Partnerships
The Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research is committed to advancing scientific and medical research related to the diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of pancreatic cancer. The Foundation’s formation was inspired by Marc Lustgarten, a pioneer in the cable industry and chairman of Madison Square Garden, who died at the age of 52 after battling pancreatic cancer diagnosed at an advanced stage. As the Foundation approaches its tenth year of work, it has moved toward supporting larger scale pancreatic cancer research projects, including sequencing of the pancreatic cancer genome. The Lustgarten Foundation has partnered with Canary Foundation to build blood-based assays for candidate biomarkers for early detection of pancreatic cancer as part of its Pancreatic Cancer Biomarker Development Project.
