Description The V Foundation is dedicated to achieving Victory Over Cancer® through research. Jim Valvano, a NCAA Championship-winning college basketball coach and sports announcer, and ESPN founded the organization shortly before Jim’s death from cancer in 1993. We carry on Jim’s mission for Victory Over Cancer®. The V Foundation is dedicated to providing equal opportunities in our endeavors and in our workforce. We believe that being open and approachable is the foundation of diversity, which is why we prioritize direct communication and invest in resources to make sure that our team feels connected and like they can bring their full selves to work each day. All employees work cross-functionally and interact directly with everyone in the company, creating a tightknit, respectful and inclusive community.
The V Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to saving lives by helping to find a cure for cancer. The V Foundation seeks to make a difference by generating broad-based support for cancer research and by creating an urgent awareness among all Americans of the importance of the war against cancer. The V Foundation performs these dual roles through advocacy, education, fundraising and philanthropy.
