About the Farrah Fawcett Foundation
Farrah Fawcett established the Farrah Fawcett Foundation (FFF) in 2007 shortly after her cancer diagnosis. She had the intention of running it herself but things turned out differently as she passed away in 2009. The foundation’s President and CEO, Alana Stewart, has led the organization in its mission to fund innovative HPV-related cancer research, patient assistance, and prevention & awareness programs.
In 2013, the FFF partnered with Stand Up to Cancer to create their first research team in Farrah’s name at Dana Farber in Boston. They are currently working on a second phase of research at SU2C with a new cancer research team selected in 2021. Other grantees include:UCLA, MD Anderson, Harvard, Duke, Brown and Vanderbilt Universities. Patient assistance and education programs are also part of the FFF mission with several funds at treatment centers around the US.
The FFF's 2022 fundraising efforts include a second beneficiary, honoring Farrah's home state and benefit location of Dallas, TX. 50% of the funds raised will continue the support of Stand Up to Cancer and the other 50% will go to the American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge.
