A Message
from the President

The United Cancer Research Society was formed in 1973 for the purpose of raising funds for cancer research. We provide grants to the finest cancer research institutions and universities in the country, including the following:

USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, Los Angeles
City of Hope, Duarte, California
Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, California
Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, D.C.
Grossmont Hospital Foundation, La Mesa, California
Ronald McDonald's Children's Charities, Loma Linda, California
M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Univ. of Texas, Houston, Texas
AWWA Research Foundation, Denver, Colorado
Saint Vincent Medical Center, Los Angeles, California
Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, Durham, North Carolina
Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, San Diego, Califoria
Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Univ. of Miami, Florida
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York
Weizmann Institute of Science, New York

All recipients of our grants adhere to the strictest guidelines, including no research involving animals or animal products. Funding for these research grants and public services come from the following sources:

  • Cash contributions from individuals and businesses
  • Deferred gifts through wills, living trusts, charitable remainder trusts, and other planned gifts
  • Donations of automobiles, trucks, boats, airplanes, real estate, and stocks

Another mainstay of support for our research grants has been our household discards program in which our trucks pick up useable household items from individuals throughout California, Arizona, and Nevada. In turn, these items are processed and sold through a thrift store program, providing a steady flow of funds that are utilized in cancer research.

United Cancer Research Society is a nonprofit corporation that is recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization by the Internal Revenue Service.

I encourage you to give serious consideration to the avenues outlined in these pages through which you can join our efforts in providing "Hope for the Future."

--Edward Jabo, Jr., President
