Since its establishment back in 1996, the Foundation has funded more than $30 million dollars in grants making it one of the largest non-governmental sources of grant support to blood cancer research in the entire country. On average, eighty-five cents of every dollar raised directly funds research.
Just last year, Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation celebrated 20 years of transformations in cancer treatment and care. The Foundation continues to honor Gabrielle’s legacy by funding the most innovative ideas in cancer research with the goal of getting treatments from the bench, to the bedside, to a cure.
