To date, the Scott Carter
Foundation has given over $600,000 to children's cancer research.
Projects have included the largest bone marrow registry
to date in Tulsa, Oklahoma through the Red Cross organization, the
funding of a SKYlab project and purchase of a specialized
microscope in Omaha, Nebraska, local contributions to Project
Woman, a project that pays for mammograms for those who
need them but cannot afford them, Camp OK Corral,
a children's cancer camp provided through the American Cancer
Society, and various other projects sponsored by the ACS
through "Coaches vs Cancer" across a
multi-state region. Our largest contributions, however, have
been in providing research fellowships for young
doctors across the nation. To date, we have funded five of
the two-year programs through the National Childhood Cancer
Foundation.
"The National Childhood Cancer Foundation is
dedicated to reducing the devastating impact of cancer on infants,
children,
adolescents
and young adults by supporting clinical and laboratory research
on cancer causes, treatments, and cures, and by education and
advocacy for the needs of children with cancer and their families."
