In 2012, the White Aisle Foundation distributed funds to the following two organizations engaged in melanoma research and providing assistance to melanoma patients:
Dr. Michael Atkins and his team treated Rebecca during the last three years of her life, during which time she benefited from the research in which they are engaged. Their research fund is administered by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. Although Dr. Atkins has since left Beth Israel, our support furthers the team's ongoing research into treatments and a possible cure for melanoma.
Chronic Disease Fund

Dallas Parkway, Suite 200 Plano, TX 75024 http://www.cdfund.org/ Chronic Disease Fund is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that helps patients with chronic disease, cancer and other life-altering conditions obtain the life-saving medications they need.
