“In 2019 max cure foundation announced the passing of vice-chairman, co-founder, and chief financial officer, richard l. Plotkin from acute myeloid leukemia. We thank those donors, volunteers, friends, and family who expressed an outpouring of support for richard, his vision, and those who survive him. His mission will carry on. Due to the circumstances surrounding the covid-19 pandemic the operations of the max cure foundation were heavily disrupted. Systems were in place prior to the year to facilitate the remote work of the foundation's employees but the inability to perform in-person fundraisers was a significant challenge to the operations and budget of programs and grants. In 2020, mcf donated a total of $28,792 to other charities for research, advocacy, and to families in mcf's roar beyond barriers financial assistance program. 1. Research: in 2020, mcf granted $25,000 in research donations. A. During the 2020 year mcf has continued involvement in the production of a white paper and subsequent initiative that calls to attention the correlation between incident rate rise among children and the potential environmental linkages that exist. The childhood cancer prevention initiative is a collaborative nonprofit and business community intent on reshaping the consumer goods in our homes and around our children and addressing the chemicals used in our daily lives that pose a threat to our children's health through carcinogenesis. To that end, $22,500 was conditionally granted to the american sustainable business council for the continued production and management of the initiative. B. Further, $2,500 was provided to the uf foundation as part of a covid-19 funding initiative that raised funds to restart operations at research labs whose operations had been hindered by the global pandemic. Funds were granted for the purchase of supplies necessary to safeguard researchers as they continued their operations during the pandemic. 2. In 2020 mcf disbursed $3,792 to families through the roar beyond barriers program. A. In all, families have received in excess of $825,000 via the multiple forms of financial assistance that mcf has provided since beginning its initiative to provide funds to families battling cancer in their children. B. In prior years and in 2020, mcf provided gift cards to retailers such as target, and more recently, walmart, to families of children with cancer in active treatment to purchase necessities at their discretion. At the end of the 2019, the board of mcf endorsed a new mechanism to provide funding for families, and through the use of modern banking will be able to provide direct financial support to families while eliminating the overhead required to track and manage the gift card program. C. In 2020 a total of 33 families received financial assistance: $3,100 was provided to families via checks distributed during the year. A further $692 was provided directly to families and their debtors for purposes of providing emergency relief for utility bills, other expenses, and as needed by families to meet the needs of caring for their children in treatment for pediatric cancer.”
