About Us
The Foundation was established in
1976 with funds donated by Mr. Harmon Hugo and the Morris Sandler family. Originally known as the Maine Cancer
Research and Education Foundation, the name evolved into the
Maine Cancer Foundation in 2001. At its founding, it was
stipulated that all funds raised would stay in Maine to
benefit Maine people.
The mission of the Maine Cancer Foundation
is to improve the health and well-being of Maine people by
Funding scientific laboratory and clinical
cancer research Sponsoring professional and public education
regarding knowledge and advances in cancer medicine
Sponsoring cancer support programs The Foundation publicly
solicits and distributes funds in support of a variety of
cancer research and education programs. The Foundation is
relatively small but has grown considerably since the early
1990's. In fact, in 2002 the amount of funds awarded was
more than the funds awarded in the entire ten-year period
1980 through 1990.
The Human Genome Project and other
molecular biological advances of the late 1990's created an
opportunity for the Foundation to translate these
discoveries into meaningful benefits for the people of
Maine. The Foundation feels the optimal use of its resources
is in the investigation of science-based evidence.
