The Marcus Foundation was established in memory of Mark S.Niziak Jr ("Marcus") who died of a brain tumor shortly after his 5th birthday. The purpose of the Foundation is primarily to sponsor brain tumor research being conducted at the Massachusetts General Hospital ("MGH"). However, the Foundation also supports the Marcus Fund for Families, which was established to help defray the cost to families with children being treated at MGH for brain tumors and other neurological diseases.
Replicating our past golf tournament program, click on the following links for Foundation updates:
From Dr. William T Curry, Chief Medical Officer MGH, Director Neurosurgical Oncology, discussing the amazing progress being made in the treatment of brain tumors
From Dr. Amy Armstrong-Javors, Pediatric Neurologist, discussing the many families assisted by the Marcus Fund for Families; and
From Jackie MacMullan, the legendary sports writer, and good friend of the foundation, offering her unique perspective of the Boston sports scene.
It is truly gratifying to see what your support has accomplished. However the battle continues and we are reaching out to you today to ask that you continue to support the Foundation so we can continue to provide these much needed grants.
While a contribution in any amount is greatly appreciated, as an incentive, we are offering three cash prize giveaways in the amount of $500, $1,000 and $1,500. To be eligible to win a cash prize, you must contribute a minimum of $25. However, as an added incentive to increase your contribution, for every $100 contributed to the Foundation, you will receive 10 chances to win a prize. For example, a contribution of $300 would result in 30 entries to win one of the cash prizes.
Contributions made be made ONLINE or by check mailed to:

Our goal is to increase this year's grant by $20,000. To do so, we will need to expand our audience so we ask that you send this communication to family and friends and encourage them to participate.
Thank you for your past support and hopefully you will be able to assist us in continuing the battle that Marcus so valiantly fought.
Sincerely,
Mark S. Niziak, Sr.
President, The Marcus Foundation
