4 Our History 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. Jimmy V shared his dream of finding a cure for cancer in a momentous and emotional speech at the 1993 ESPY Awards when he introduced The V Foundation for Cancer Research with the emphatic motto, Don t give up...don T EVER GIVE UP! The V Foundation for Cancer Research seeks to make a difference by generating broad-based support for cancer research by creating an urgent awareness among all Americans of the importance of the war against cancer. To date, The V Foundation has awarded over $130 million to fund cancer research grants nationwide. 100% of direct cash donations are awarded to cancer research and related programs. Due to generous donors, The V Foundation has an endowment that covers administrative expenxes. The V Foundation is proud to rank as one of Charity Navigator s leading fund- raising organizations nationally. These are tremendous accomplishments and have changed lives by contributing to the significant strides in cancer prevention, detection and treatment. We remain both grateful and inspired by those who choose to join our fight. We look forward to working together in our shared stance against cancer!
