The American and Canadian Cancer Society

Funding research. Finding Cures.

Why is research important?

One of the challenges in treating cancer is that it is not one disease. Cancer does not have a specific single cause, nor does it take on one form. Over the last several decades, scientists have gained a greater understanding about many aspects of this complex disease, but have yet to pinpoint exactly when and why cancer occurs.

This donation enabled us to put a STAR on the Wall of Fame
with our fan club's name on it in Elvis' Memory.
 

With the original dedication of the Elvis Presley Memorial Trauma Center in 1983, fans from throughout the world have sought ways in which to participate in the mission of this Center of Excellence and to memorialize Elvis Presley. For their efforts and those businesses who continue to support the work done at the EPMTC, a "Wall of Honor" was established by the MED Foundation in 1990. The wall today consists of nearly 300 plaques, each of which is inscribed according to the wish of the donor along with a date.
One need only to look at the names, fan clubs, and countries from which financial support has come to this Center. It is truly a fitting tribute to the memory of Elvis and what he stood for that his many fans have made this Center of Excellence a priority for their charitable contributions.
