About Cancer Crusaders...
Cancer Crusaders was founded in 1976 and incorporated in 1978 for the purpose of raising funds for cancer research in the Greater New Orleans area. It is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization with no administrative overhead and is not affiliated with any other cancer fund-raising organization. Since 1978 proceeds raised by the organization, which total in excess of $2 million, have been divided equally between the Tulane Cancer Center and LSU's Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center, (partners in the Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium) for the express purpose of cancer research.
