About Lustgarten Foundation  
The Lustgarten Foundation was established in 1998 to honor Marc Lustgarten, who served as the former vice chairman of Cablevision Systems Corporation and chairman of Madison Square Garden, before he died from pancreatic cancer. James Dolan, executive chairman and chief executive officer of MSG Entertainment/MSG Sports and executive chairman of MSG Networks, and former chief executive officer of Cablevision; and Charles Dolan, chairman emeritus of AMC Networks and former chairman of Cablevision, helped establish the Foundation, and have been closely involved in supporting its mission to advance pancreatic cancer research and paying homage to Mr. Lustgarten’s legacy. 
 
This year, Lustgarten Foundation celebrates its 25th anniversary as the driving force in every major advancement in pancreatic cancer research. The Foundation funds research where creative risks yield high rewards to accelerate and expand life-saving treatment options, including the Lustgarten Equity, Accessibility and Diversity (LEAD) Project, created to increase the recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups in pancreatic cancer clinical trials; and the Career Development Awards Honoring Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Congressman John Robert Lewis, aimed at fostering early-career and underrepresented scientists for pancreatic cancer research and to honor the lives and legacies of these two iconic Americans lost to pancreatic cancer.  

“The progress we’ve made in early detection and new treatments over the past 25 years is encouraging,” Tantawi added. “But there is still much more to be done. Pancreatic cancer patients and their families look to us to provide the potential for more tomorrows, and we will not disappoint them. Thanks to the continued support of our resilient community, we remain laser-focused on giving patients the best chance for survival and quality of life.” 

At Lustgarten, time is everything to patients and their families and that community is power. Lustgarten Foundation events and programs provide people affected by pancreatic cancer a voice and a place to create hope, together. For more information, visit www.lustgarten.org.
