mission & vision

Researchers need equipment. We will devote the time and energy necessary to ensure  that.

​The Hope For a Cure Foundation was set up to raise funds for cancer research in San Diego, with the goal of contributing almost 100% to the purchase of the equipment, with virtually no overhead. With so many advanced research programs in the Greater San Diego area, breakthroughs here in San Diego will benefit us all, no matter where we live.
