Non-profit of the Month: August 2009 - Think Cure!

The Dodgers are a business.

They are far from a perfect organization but Angelinos can point with pride that they do try to give back to the community. One of the ways they do I have supported this month is Think Cure!

Its a straightforward charitable organization:

We aim to find cures for cancers by funding innovative research projects at City of Hope and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. An objective, peer-based panel of expert doctors reviews two-year grant applications once a year and funds are awarded to the most promising collaborative and cutting edge cancer research projects that can involve other top cancer research hospitals.

Disclaimer: As a lab bench medical researcher, I do support funding of medical research! Please know, however, that I am not employed by City of Hope nor Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
