The Savannah River Cancer Foundation is a locally created and sponsored, non-profit organization.
Established in 2003, the Foundation operates from monies received through donations and fund raisers. The Foundation is not part of a national organization, therefore all monies received stay here, and are
used to aid cancer patients in the community. The Foundation is guided
by a board of directors, who have all either had cancer or have been closely affected by cancer.
