Nick Strong Foundation to directly fund groundbreaking research for germ cell tumors.

We are beyond excited to announce groundbreaking research, being conducted by the Jackson Laboratories, that could potentially find treatments for germ cell tumors. Pediatric oncologist Dr. Ching Lau is a professor at the lab, which is a nonprofit biomedical institution committed to basic research discoveries that will change the landscape of cancer detection and care. Dr. Lau and his lab team have developed a first of its kind assay that can accurately diagnose germ cell tumors using spinal fluid obtained from a less invasive procedure such as a spinal tap.  The Nick Strong Foundation has decided to directly fund these tests that cost about $2,000 per test.  They have about 50 samples ready to test and our goal is to fund these samples and keep going from there! We are honored to be a part of this research in Nick’s memory.

Proceeds from your participation in our upcoming events (The Shed event, our first Golf Tournament) will go directly towards this funding -  THANK YOU!!!
