The Illini 4000 for Cancer

Support Our Cause.
We've chosen the American Cancer Society Research Fund and Camp Kesem at the University of Illinois as the recipients of our financial support.

We're excited to be supporting The American Cancer Society because of its long standing commitment to cancer research. The American Cancer Society is the largest, not for profit source of funds for scientists studying cancer and has provided funding for such breakthroughs as tamoxifen, bone marrow transplants, and molecular therapies that have given new hope to the mothers, fathers, grandparents, and children touched by cancer. In addition, we are excited to support Camp Kesem at the University of Illinois which operates summer camps for children whose parents are affected by cancer. Although Camp Kesem at the U of I has not been able to raise the necessary funding to launch a camp in previous years, we are committed to financially supporting their programs.
