About the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation

The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) was established in 1998
as a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization by twin sisters Karen Andrews
and Kathy Giusti, soon after Kathy’s diagnosis with multiple myeloma.
The mission of the MMRF is to relentlessly pursue innovative means that
accelerate the development of next-generation multiple myeloma
treatments to extend the lives of patients and lead to a cure. As the
world’s number-one private funder of multiple myeloma research, the MMRF
has raised more than $300 million since its inception and directs nearly
90% of its total budget to research and related programming. As a
result, the MMRF has been awarded Charity Navigator’s coveted four-star
rating for 12 years, the highest designation for outstanding fiscal
responsibility and exceptional efficiency.
