What do they do to help the
            community?
• It consists of three parts:
  Kim’s Place
  This was founded by Kim Perrot ( WNBA Champion) who died
  of cancer. She wanted to have a place where young adults at
  MD Anderson could just “hang out”. It has a pool
  table, jukebox, mini-kitchen with microwaves and
  refrigerators, three computers with Internet access, video
  games, and two basketball free-throw machines.

  have:
• Pioneered new drug therapies for leukemia and cancers of the
  bones and muscles
• Initiated a limb salvage surgical technique for bone tumor patients
• Made groundbreaking research in the effective use of chemotherapy
  to cure pediatric brain tumors
• Demonstrated that the MD Anderson developed drug, clofarabine, is
  effective against pediatric acute leukemia and achieved FDA

• Innovated a novel therapy to treat tumors that have spread to the
  lungs
• Engineered and performed a life-saving surgery for children with
  tumors that have metastasized in the abdomen

        MD Anderson?

Would this organization be a
good organization for the 7th

Grade Fund to contribute to?
Would this organization be a good organization for the
           7th Grade Fund to contribute to?

 MD Anderson would be a good
 organization for the 7th Grade Fund to
 help. This is because it serves thousands
 of children every day in their fight against
 cancer. Also, it has a direct service
 component and a research component.
