About the ABC's

The ABCs officially established in 1990, was born out of a group of dedicated philanthropists who had originally been associated with the Eddie Cantor Charitable Foundation, which supported a variety of charities. This group evolved into the ABCs in order to devote all its resources to eradicating breast and prostate cancer; diseases that, unfortunately, impact everyone. The ABCs has a long and fruitful partnership with the John Wayne Cancer institute, over the years raising over 12 million dollars to support the institute's research in advancing the treatment and detection of both breast and prostate cancer.
