Founded in 1998, The Lustgarten Foundation supports research to find a cure for pancreatic cancer, facilitates dialogue within the medical and scientific community, and educates the public about the disease. Today, The Lustgarten Foundation is America’s largest private foundation dedicated to funding pancreatic cancer research. It has provided millions of research dollars and assembled the best scientific minds with the hope that one day early diagnosis will require nothing more than a routine blood test, and that better treatments can be found, someday leading to a cure. And because Cablevision underwrites The Lustgarten Foundation’s administrative costs, 100 percent of every dollar donated to the Foundation goes directly to this important research.
