WAYS TO GIVE
In 1971, the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation (VLCF) was created to honor the legacy of legendary NFL coach Vince Lombardi, whose life was cut short by colon cancer. In the more than 50 years since, nearly $25 million has been raised to advance our mission to prevent cancer, provide superior patient care, and find a cure. No amount is too small - it is only with your support that we can continue to fund advancements in cancer research and treatment.
The Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, EIN 23-7120909, and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by the law. For more information or with questions, please contact info@lombardifoundation.org or 262.696.5162.
