Current5 For The Fight aggregates $5 donations around the world and partners with companies through employee giving campaigns to fund the next generation of cancer researchers through the 5 For The Fight Cancer Research Fellowship and Internship.For a long time, it felt like donating to cancer research was limited to large gifts and high net worth individuals. 5 For The Fight invites everyone to give $5 for the fight against cancer. It's a way for everyone to contribute to the cause because when cancer hits, we all need a way to do something. 5 For The Fight makes it easy for anyone to give $5 for the fight. The movement was launched in February 2016 at the X4 Experience Management Summit and a year later the partnership between 5 For The Fight and the Utah Jazz was announced with the 5 For The Fight logo on the jersey with our Foundation. To date, we've raised more than $50M and issued grants through the Dermot Costello Fellowship with Breakthrough Cancer Research (Cork Cancer Research Centre), the 5 For The Fight Cancer Research Fellowship (Huntsman Cancer Institute), the 5 For The Fight Cancer Research Internship (a partnership with Howard University and Morehouse College), and researchers funded at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, University of Washington, Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Minnesota, City of Hope, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Duke Cancer Institute and University of Hawaii Cancer Center.
