WHY JOIN OUR TEAM?

Fulfill a dream and make the difference. The MMRF PowerTeam members take their love of physical activity and channel it into raising funds for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), one of the nation’s most groundbreaking cancer research organizations.

ABOUT THE MMRF

The MMRF was founded in 1998 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization by twin sisters Karen Andrews and Kathy Giusti, soon after Kathy was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer that originates in plasma cells. The mission of the MMRF is to relentlessly pursue innovative means that accelerate the development of next-generation multiple myeloma treatments to extend the lives of patients and lead to a cure.

The MMRF has facilitated unprecedented accomplishments including helping to bring four new drugs to market that are now standard therapies for patients with multiple myeloma and being used or explored as treatments for more than 30 other cancers. In 2011, TIME Magazine named Kathy Giusti as one of the world’s 100 most influential people.

EXCEPTIONAL STEWARDS

As exceptional stewards of its donors’ investments, the MMRF consistently surpasses its peers in fiscal responsibility and an outstanding 90% of total budget goes directly towards research and related programming.

WHO JOINS OUR TEAM

Many members of our teams have a direct connection to multiple myeloma. Others work in the medical, research or pharmaceutical industry. A growing group of team members join us because they are inspired to support an amazing foundation that is transforming the way medical research and drug development are being conducted. They want to be a part of an organization that is making the difference in cancer research.
