YOU BELIEVE WE CAN BEAT THIS DISEASE

Whether you’re joining the fight to end cancer for a parent, a spouse, a friend or a child, everyone has their personal reasons for taking action. What we all share is the belief that we can end this terrible disease if we work together.

YOU CAN SEE IT’S WORKING

Because of the donations, involvement, and healthy choices of people like you, we have helped contribute to a 20% drop in cancer death rates since the early 1990s. That means that together we’ve helped save nearly 1.2 million lives from cancer during that time. But we’re not done yet.

TAKE ACTION NOW

And while the disease still claims 1,500 lives a day in the United States, you can change that by helping fund the next research breakthrough.

“We need your help. I need your help. We need money for cancer research. It may not save my life. It may save my children’s lives. It may save someone you love.” - Jimmy Valvano What Would You Do If You

Knew You Couldn’t Fail? A Magical Weekend Dedicated to Finding Cures for Cancer Inspired by Jimmy Valvano’s spirit and determination, Julie Allegro (daughter of retired ESPN Executive Vice President, Jim Allegro) founded the V Wine Celebration in 1999 with modest hopes of furthering Valvano’s dream. Together with Bob Lloyd, the Chairman of The V Foundation, the V Wine Celebration was created.

Bob Lloyd Julie Allegro

Fifteen years later, modest hopes have evolved into an extraordinary world-class wine event

Lavish gourmet vintner dinners and events with ultra-premium wine pairings and celebrity chefs greet 500 The V Foundation Wine Celebration guests each August as The V Foundation for Cancer Research hosts the V Wine Celebration with a single purpose: finding cures for all types of cancer by funding vital research. It’s a magical weekend filled with fun, family, entertainment, love and generosity. The incredible three days include wine-oriented activities, a cancer research symposium with the nation’s top cancer physicians, award-winning entertainment and an exciting live auction. In 15 years, the V Wine Celebration has raised over $53 million in the Napa Valley.

“My brother envisioned a lasting cancer research foundation. We are humbled by the generosity of his friends who have offered their time and talents and introduced us to their friends, to continue the Friends of the V and enlarge our Foundation Family.”­

— Nick Valvano, President Emeritus The V Foundation

The V Foundation is fortunate to have a Scientific Advisory Board, populated by some of the absolute best physicians and scientists in the cancer research field, who are responsible for evaluating and selecting research projects to receive funding by The V Foundation. Each year, The V Foundation Wine Celebration hosts a Cancer Research Symposium, where world-class reseachers present cutting-edge information to the general public. Many of the researchers who have been awarded grants in years past return to share their valuable findings. A Q & A session allows attendees to have their questions answered by the panelists. See page 16 for a full list of our Scientific Advisory Board members.

“Research plays a critical role in the fight against cancer. It provides hope to patients and their families. The V Foundation is proud to fund research of the

highest quality, nationwide.” The V Foundation Wine Celebration — Susan Braun, CEO The V Foundation

The V Foundation is proud to offer many types of research grants:

The V Scholar Program Designed to identify, retain and further the careers of talented young investigators. Provides funds directly to young scientists who are developing their own independent laboratory research projects. These grants enable talented young scientists to establish their laboratories and gain a competitive edge necessary to earn additional funding from other sources. The V Scholars determine how to best use the funds in their research projects.

The V Foundation Grants in Translational Clinical Research Facilitate the transition of projects from the laboratory to the clinic. Translational researchers seek to apply basic knowledge of cancer and bring the benefits of the new basic-level understandings to patients more quickly and efficiently.

The Designated Grant Program Funds projects in communities or regions local to the fundraising area. Fundraisers and donors work with The V Foundation to identify a specific project, facility or awareness program. The new Partners in Excellence grants are the latest example of the designated grants.

Along the way, he adopted a personal philosophy for living that enabled He was indeed an ordinary man to accomplish the extraordinary. Jim believed that the master of his enthusiasm for life, dreaming big, and working hard were the elements destiny. that allowed him to be successful. There is no doubt that Jim’s tenacity, passion, and vision played key roles in his rise to the top.

1967 Rutgers University Scarlet Knights Men’s Basketball Team featuring #40 Jim Valvano and #14 Bob Lloyd 11 A Man of Action Jim Valvano once commented, “There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It’s up to you to decide what to do with them.” He reached the highest level of success as the legendary NCSU basketball coach and then as an award-winning commentator at ABC and ESPN. He authored three books, gave hundreds of motivational speeches to corporations across the country, hosted weekly television and radio broadcasts and created his own corporation. He was a man possessed by life and all of the opportunities that it had to offer.

Jim and his daughter LeeAnn A Man of the People The Jim Valvano we knew could not have existed without people. He worked to motivate, stimulate, entertain, and inspire any person that entered his life. The world was his team and his game plan would allow us all to be winners. In 1993, Jim was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Perhaps it was his deep love of humanity that allowed him to share the details of his darkest hour with millions of strangers that would become his closest confidants. ESPN Commentators John Saunders and Jim Valvano A Man of Courage During one of Jim’s final interviews he stated, “I want hope that he could bring attention to a disease that to help every cancer patient I can now. I don’t know affects millions. He was not afraid to let others witness if I can handle that, but it’s the only conceivable good his weakening body or the tears that he shed when he that can come out of this.” Jim proved that he could spoke of his certain death during interviews and public more than handle his final role as cancer advocate.

www.jimmyv.org 13 Jimmy’s Starting Lineup 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. Jim personally asked the original 15 members of the Board of Directors to carry on his fight: Robert Bast, Jr., MD, Steven Bornstein, Bill Cosby, Philip Knight, Mike Krzyzewski, John Lack, Robert Lloyd, Geoffrey Mason, Joseph O. Moore, MD, Harry Rhoads, Jr., John Saunders, Pamela Valvano, Nicholas Valvano, Bob Lloyd (left) and Jim Valvano Robert Valvano, and Dereck Whittenberg. Teammates at Rutgers University Bob Lloyd, Jimmy’s teammate at Rutgers University, remains committed to fulfilling his best friend’s legacy as Chairman of The V Foundation. Many new Board members had never met Jim, yet have embraced the mission. Our V Board Coach Jimmy “V” Valvano & “Coach K” Mike Krzyzewski is personally engaged, and as a result, The V Foundation has achieved an unprecedented level of success for a relatively young organization. 100% of all direct cash donations and net event proceeds are awarded directly to cancer research and related programs. Administrative and fundraising expenses are paid by our endowment. The V Foundation funds research for ALL types of cancer.
