Earlier this year BYU fans across the globe helped win $100,000 for BYU’s Simmons Center for Cancer Research by voting BYU Basketball Head Coach Dave Rose to the top in the Infiniti Coaches Charity Challenge
This week the Simmons Center announced that the prize-winning money has enabled them to create an endowment that will fund cancer research fellowships in perpetuity. The David and Cheryl Rose Family Student Cancer Research Endowment will provide student wages and fellowships to BYU undergraduate and graduate students conducting cancer research within the SCCR organization.
“Having this endowment named for our family is a tremendous honor that will continue motivating us to do all we can to support the inspired mission of the Simmons Center,” said Cheryl Rose, whose four sisters have all had cancer, and one sister, Janet, passed away from breast cancer. “This is very personal to us.”
