WHO BENEFITS?
The Karyn Research
Fund has committed itself to supporting the research program of the
Hackensack University Medical Center by raising over $275,000. Grants from
The Karyn Research Fund will be utilized to establish Pediatric Genetic
Oncology laboratories.
The primary aims of the program will be the
early detection, improved treatment, and ultimately, prevention of
pediatric cancers, in the hope and anticipation that one day soon a
tolerable and effective cure will be found in the hope that no one will
lose another daughter, son, sibling, friend or valued member of our
community to leukemia.
