The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded in 1993 by ESPN and the late Jim Valvano, legendary North Carolina State basketball coach and ESPN commentator. Since 1993, The Foundation has raised more than $70 million to fund cancer research grants nationwide. As of October 1, 2006, The V Foundation now awards 100 percent of all new direct cash donations and net proceeds of events directly to cancer research and related programs. The Foundation, which has received a top 4-star rating from Charity Navigator for the fifth consecutive year, awards grants through a competitive awards process strictly supervised by a Scientific Review Committee. For more information on The V Foundation or to make a donation, please visit www.jimmyv.org.

During the course of the year, ESPN remains dedicated to promoting The V Foundation in a variety of ways - from fund-raising initiatives to marketing support to event organization and promotion, including national television exposure of The V Foundation’s signature events.

Jim Valvano's "Don't Ever Give Up" spirit led his 1983 Wolfpack team to a now-legendary national championship win.

 

That same "Don't Ever Give Up" spirit rallied his friends and ESPN colleagues to form The V Foundation for Cancer Research.

 

The "Don't Ever Give Up... Don't Ever Give Up!" spirit continues to drive The V Foundation to raise money for essential cancer research to keep Jim's dream alive.
