Tower Cancer Research Foundation Information

Tower Cancer Research Foundation advances groundbreaking research and profoundly supports people affected by cancer—as we inch closer to a future free from the burden of the devastating disease. Our focus is on Southern California, the hub for some of the world’s leading research institutions and the home of our founding physicians. Inspired by the most promising science, we fund leading local researchers, making us a launchpad for additional funding and discoveries here and on the global stage. Our clinically-grounded survivorship support programs, hosted by Magnolia House, and community partner grants, funded by TCRF, align with the challenges faced by patients, survivors, and the whole cancer community. While our programs and funding are made locally, they are designed to maximize impact beyond the initial investment—so they not only benefit researchers, patients and families today, they have the potential to lead to even greater impact tomorrow, transforming lives anywhere. We take an uncommonly personal approach to working with donors, and we're an organization powered by an army of resilient, dedicated volunteers who have a personal stake in the fight. Because cancer is personal, TCRF makes it possible for people who care deeply about the cause to give how they want, where they want, and to have an outsized impact in the fight against cancer.
