The BLY Foundation was formed in 2011 when co-founders Michael Beckerman, Adam Landsman, and David Yaches created it as an official 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and partnered with the American Cancer Society to help fund cancer research. The three founders had long been involved in fighting cancer and recognized that many of their friends, colleagues, and family members wanted to join the fight as well but were overwhelmed with how to get started.

Combining their passion for battling cancer and a network of people eager to become involved, Michael, Adam, and David dedicated the BLY Foundation to discovering and funding scientists researching innovative ways to treat and prevent cancer and partnering with smaller causes to help extend their reach and awareness.

Each year, the BLY Foundation will select and partner with one organization, cause, or researcher and we will dedicate all proceeds from that year's fundraising efforts to the selected individual or organization.

BLY Foundation supports promising cancer researchers and smaller causes dedicated to helping cancer patients and their families. We offer financial assistance to minimize the costs involved with cancer research including clinical trials, equipment, and lab studies. Additionally, we work with smaller causes by helping them fundraise and expanding the awareness of their mission to a broader community.

• We help researchers make medical breakthroughs today, because for many cancer patients they may not have a tomorrow.
• We help causes all over the country that are dedicated to battling many different types of cancer
• We believe that providing funding for innovative cancer research should not be measured on how many lives it will save - every life is important.
