GCRF donates a full 100% of all money raised directly to GIST research. GCRF board members do not receive salary or any other monetary compensation from GCRF. Each grant presentation affords anyone touched by GIST a wonderful opportunity to meet & interface with the best GIST doctors and researchers in the country, as well as with their staff and the administrators of these top ranked cancer facilities that specialize in GIST. Just as important, those attending meet and share with other GIST patients.
