Golfers Against Cancer
Golfers Against Cancer (GAC) is a national organization founded in 1997 by a group of Houston Golfers who had lost two of their golfing buddies to cancer. Motivated to raise money to fund cancer research, they created an annual golf tournament and a live and silent auction. In the following years, New York, Atlanta, Boston and Greensboro established their own GAC chapters.
Denver GAC chapter was formed in 2009 with the following mission:
- Help fund efforts to find a cure for cancer through local research at the University of Colorado Cancer Center in Aurora.
- Raise research money from individuals and corporations.
- Select projects through comprehensive proposals and on-site visits. The Denver GAC Grants Committee follows and reports on the progress of the research on a regular basis.
- Obtain matching funds from the University or other resources to enhance each grant amount, elevating the studies' potential for continued funding from such agencies as the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute of Health (NIH).
