Entrepreneur Denny Sanford lost his young mother, Edith, to breast cancer when he was only four. One of his life’s goals is to end breast cancer, so that children will not have to grow up like him, without the love and guidance of their mothers.

Denny has made a transformational gift to cover the operating expenses of the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation. Thanks to his generous grant—which supports our operating and fundraising expenses—every penny of every dollar you donate will be directly invested in research to find cures.
