Rally Foundation

In 2005, a 17-year-old boy named William was fighting a brain tumor for the second time in two years. Rally Founder and CEO Dean Crowe asked a simple question, “What can I do to help? And I will not make you dinner. This situation is so past dinner.” William’s mother replied, “Raise money for childhood cancer research and fund the best research wherever it may be.” The mission of Rally was born that day, and since that question was asked, Rally has awarded $25.4 million in childhood cancer research grants across the country and around the world
