In partnership with ESPN, Jim Valvano announced the formation of the V Foundation for Cancer Research in 1993 during his memorable ESPY speech. His message was simple: cancer research needs our support. Although he passed shortly after his iconic speech, his legacy continues with the V Foundation.
Your contribution to cancer research is vital to researchers to make advancements, develop new treatments, test ideas and learn more about how and why cancer grows in the human body, with the end goal of saving more lives.
Jim was a champion – of NCAA basketball – and also for cancer research. Join him on our team of Champions.
With Jim as our inspiration, the V Foundation continues to strive toward our goal to achieve Victory Over Cancer®.
