4. Make a one-time or recurring donation!
The Salgi Esophageal Cancer Research Foundation awarded FIVE research grants and while it is a tremendous accomplishment, esophageal cancer research is critically underfunded. Plus, lack of awareness and no routine or standard screenings leave many individuals facing advanced prognosis with limited treatment options.
When you make a donation to our charity you are directly supporting esophageal cancer awareness, early detection and research. All donations can be made one-time or recurring, are tax-deductible and go to our mission!
