Sideline Cancer Information

The concept of Sideline Cancer® started with a group of seniors at the Hollidaysburg High School in 2012. At the Penn State Altoona Pancreatic Symposium in 2012, the Griffith Family Foundation was introduced to Jack Andraka, who is the 2012 Intel Science and Engineering Fair Winner, Amateur Cancer Researcher, Education Activist, Medical Entrepreneur, Innovator, a current student at Stanford University, and our Griffith Family Foundation Sideline Cancer® Ambassador. He suggested a name that would reflect all school activities and participation. Sideline Cancer® was then birthed due to his suggestion and a collaborative effort from the Griffith Family Foundation, Jack, and students. The name Sideline Cancer® has been trademarked through the Griffith Family Foundation. Sideline Cancer® events can be hosted by any school, university, or place of business, with a 50-50 revenue share with the Griffith Family Foundation.
