Northwestern Mutual deepens its decade-long commitment to fighting childhood cancer with $2 million donation to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation
Summary
"In honor of our Childhood Cancer Programs 10-year anniversary, we are proud to continue supporting Alexs mission by investing in the Crazy 8 Initiative to advance the search for life-changing treatments and cures for families across the country. "ALSFs Crazy 8 Initiative is designed to bring scientists from a variety of disciplines together to collaborate and accelerate the pace of new cure discovery. Dr. Moss\xe9 and her team aim to develop the MYCN-directed drug in four years, prove that it is effective against the most lethal pediatric cancers and launch a clinical trial shortly after. The Foundation has given more than $400 million since its inception in 1992 and is designed to create lasting impact in the communities where the companys employees and financial representatives live and work. Our efforts are focused nationally on curing childhood cancer, and locally on education, neighborhoods and making our hometown of Milwaukee a great destination.
