Created by former NFL greats Harris Barton and Ronnie Lott, Champion Charities is dedicated to helping children and families in need.
Our current priority is to raise $10 million by 2010 toward the Brain Tumor Program at UCSF. Champion Charities' contribution will fund a major expansion and acceleration of research and treatment of brain tumors at UCSF, which is world-renowned for its work in this arena.
Harris lost both of his parents to brain tumors, and is deeply committed to finding a cure and better treatments for this often lethal disease. Each year approximately 190,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with a primary or metastatic brain tumor. In addition to UCSF's stellar research program, UCSF Medical Center and UCSF Children's Hospital have the largest brain tumor treatment program in the nation and are recognized internationally for their expertise in caring for pediatric and adult brain tumor patients.
