Edelman – Gardner Cancer Research Foundation
“It started with one.”
0
Thanks to the support of our friends and donors, Edelman – Gardner Cancer Research Foundation has donated over $1.5 million to Wilmot Cancer Institute for cancer research projects since 1987.The Beginning
George Edelman Jr. initiated the “$buck board” campaign in 1973. The deaths of his friend Harry Gardner and wife Sally Edelman led him to establish the Sally Edelman and Harry Gardner Research Foundation in 1984.
Direct Impact
The foundation committed all funds directly to research, partnering with the University of Rochester to support Wilmot Cancer Institute. Its “seed” grants helped secure over $8 million in additional funding from major institutions.
Milestones Achieved
The original $1 million fundraising goal was reached in 2001. $1,585,000 has since been awarded for research on several Pilot Programs and See Grants.
Community Effort
Success came from Hilton and nearby communities through grassroots events and local business support. What started with one person grew into a community movement, led by a dedicated board, many volunteers and the unwavering support of the community.
