About The V Foundation
The Alumni Challenge is proud to partner with the V Foundation for Cancer Research as the beneficiary. In the spirit of sport and teamwork The Alumni Challenge strives to raise critical funding to support the V's grant process for cutting edge cancer research.
The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded by ESPN and legendary basketball coach Jim Valvano with one goal in mind: to achieve Victory Over Cancer®. Since its formation in 1993, the V Foundation has awarded over $225 million in cancer research grants nationwide and has grown to become one of the premier supporters of cutting-edge cancer research.
Due to generous donors, the Foundation has an endowment that covers administrative expenses.
