Co-Founder and President, Denise Rich along with her daughters, Board Members Daniella Rich Kilstock and Ilona Rich Schachter will continue the mission of the Foundation overseas. “Our sister believed in the power of research,” said Daniella and Ilona, “so, we are extremely proud to open a new chapter here in the city we both call home.”
Gabrielle's Angel Foundation funds only the best and brightest young scientific investigators conducting research in the fields of leukemia, lymphoma, and related cancers. Since its inception, the Foundation has disbursed grants totaling nearly $20 million to over 100 of the top physician-scientists in America, making it one of the largest non-governmental sources of grant support to blood cancer research in the United States. With over 300,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed in the United Kingdom per year, the launch of Gabrielle's Angel Foundation UK will allow the Foundation to fund similar blood cancer research initiatives in the United Kingdom.
“Gabrielle's spirit has guided this charity from the very beginning,” remarked Grammy-nominated songwriter, Denise Rich. “So, when my daughters came to me about starting a branch here in London, I was thrilled and immediately felt it was the right and next logical thing for us to do.”
Gabrielle's Angel Foundation UK will hold its first fundraising event on June 7, 2012. Click here for more info.
