The V Foundation for Cancer Research:

The V Foundation started with the dream of Jim Valvano, the passionate and committed former NC State basketball coach and award-winning broadcaster, as he battled cancer. Wanting to see the battle through to victory, Valvano recruited friends and family to lead The V Foundation in his quest to eradicate the disease that ultimately claimed his life. With a dire need for early developmental, critical-stage grant support, the Foundation was formed to assist the brilliant young researchers that will eventually find cures for cancer.

About The Jimmy V Golf Classic :

Throughout his life, Jim Valvano kept a list of things he wanted to do on note cards in his pocket. The last note card Pam Valvano pulled out of Jim's sport coat pocket read, "find a cure for cancer." Jim dreamed of an event that would raise significant funds for cancer research. sixteen years ago, that dream became a reality in the Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Classic.

The Golf Classic weekend has been called "A Magical Weekend" by many. When you mix together generous sponsors and outgoing celebrities, tug on a few heartstrings, and play lots of golf, you will surely find yourself having nothing short of a magical weekend. And proudly, they announce that after sixteen years of magical Golf Classic weekends, they have raised over thirteen million dollars for cancer research. Those dollars help fund research grants at scientific and medical facilities nationwide that will one day help us reach Jim's ultimate goal of finding a cure for cancer!

We have ALL been touched by cancer. We have learned that what makes our event so unique is how personal the weekend has become. That's why we believe that "Cancer is about people." It's about our parents and our children, our neighbors and our friends. It has touched our clients, it has touched our co-workers, and for some of us, it has touched that face in the mirror. Beyond all of the science and the statistics, the medicine and the treatments, are the people, their challenges and their triumphs. The cures for cancer will be found in laboratories and research hospitals, but the battle against cancer is fought in neighborhoods like ours. We have all been affected by this disease. By participating in The Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Classic you CAN make a difference in this fight!
