"Chip in for the cause."
Welcome!
Golfers Against Cancer (GAC) is a national organization founded in 1997 by a group of Houston golfers who had lost two of their golfing buddies to cancer. Motivated to raise money to fund cancer research, they created an annual golf tournament and a live and silent auction. In the following years, New York, Atlanta, Boston, and Greensboro established their own GAC chapters. Golfers Against Cancer nationwide has raised over $18 million to fund cancer research. Since 2005, the GAC Triad Annual Dinner for Cancer Research has raised more than $1,000,000, all of which has been donated to major Comprehensive Cancer Centers in North Carolina at Wake Forest University, Duke University and UNC-Chapel Hill, and to the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University.
GAC Triad Dinner for Cancer Research is the Triad (Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem, NC) chapter of Golfers Against Cancer and has the following philosophy:
- Find a cure for cancer through research.
- Raise research money from individuals and corporations.
- Invest the entire proceeds into innovative cancer research at North Carolina's Comprehensive Cancer Centers.
- Select projects through comprehensive proposals and on-site visits. The Triad GAC grants commitee, comprised of Board members, follows the progress of the research on a regular basis.
- Leverage investment dollars when possible by obtaining matching funds from the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Health, and other sources.
