EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund, started by Kelly Meyer, Anne Douglas, Quinn Ezralow, Marion Laurie and Jamie Tisch, collaborates at times with other cancer-fighting organizations. One such organization is the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister, who was dying of cancer, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer. In 1982, she turned that promise into the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization.
Today, this is the world’s largest breast cancer organization and the largest source of nonprofit funds that are dedicated to fighting breast cancer. The president and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Hala Moddelmog said, “Susan G. Komen for the Cure collaborates with groups like the Entertainment Industry Foundation to support the EIF/WCRF Biomarker Discovery Project. We’ve invested hundreds of millions of dollars to find a cure. And we won’t stop until we find it. This is another important step.”
