Stahl Family Charitable Foundation
Our Work
Throughout the years the years The Stahl Family Foundation has worked with many charities and supported many worthwhile causes, below are some of the most notable charities and contributions we have made.
Cure Childhood Cancer
When CURE was founded in 1975, the survival rates for children diagnosed with cancer were very low. With focused and collaborative research, those rates have steadily risen to above 80%. However, cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children, and studies show that more than 95% of childhood cancer survivors will have significant health issues by the time they are 45 years old.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) was established to spearhead the global fight against cancer and has been a driving force behind scientific progress in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. However, despite its achievements, children with cancer have been left behind in terms of research funding. As shocking as it may seem, only 4% of the NCI’s research budget is dedicated to childhood cancers, resulting in a lack of progress in developing effective treatments for children with cancer. As a result, children with cancer are often left with outdated treatment options that have not advanced at the same rate as those for adults. CURE is a leading pediatric cancer charity that exists to fill that gap.
Dana Farber Cancer Institute
Since its founding in 1947, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts has been committed to providing adults and children with cancer with the best treatment available today while developing tomorrow's cures through cutting-edge research. Read about our history, our breakthroughs, and the resources that help us support the health of our neighborhoods and communities.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute provides expert, compassionate, and equitable care to children, adults, and their families, while advancing the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure, and prevention of cancer and related diseases. We train new generations of clinicians and scientists, disseminate innovative patient therapies and scientific discoveries around the world, and reduce the impact of cancer, while at all times maintaining a focus on those communities who have been historically marginalized.
