The
David Turner Lymphoma Foundation, Inc., also known as "Big Dave’s Big
Gift," is a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit public charity. We assist in funding
hematological stem cell transplants for those demonstrating financial need and
providing opportunities that engender healthful and productive living.
Assistance Given Locally 2011
UNC: A cutting-edge Digital Art Therapy pilot program serving patients confined to the bone marrow transplant unit of UNC Cancer Hospital was implemented.
Duke: In conjunction with the Duke Blood and Marrow Transplant Family Services Program, patients in the pediatric bone marrow transplant unit were afforded opportunities to find distraction from pain and seek well-being through involvement in the arts.
Assistance Given Nationally 2011
NTAF: Through the selfless efforts of Big Dave and through the generous work of his Foundation’s volunteers, $28,000 was raised and donated to the National Transplant Assistance Fund to help those in desperate financial need in the face of the exorbitant costs incurred by stem cell transplantation previously.
