Vision
We created The Foundation to enhance, restore and improve the quality of life for all human beings. As individuals and as a family, we believe that good health is a tremendous blessing, encompassing both body and soul. The Foundation supports both culture and science because we know that joy and good health are equally important components of a strong, vital, satisfying life.

Mission
Our primary mission is to seek out and support experts and institutions dedicated to enhancing and improving the lives of people afflicted by mesothelioma, pediatric diabetes and pediatric leukemia.

Inspired by Karen Peterson’s extraordinary joy, kindness and empathy, our secondary goal is to create a legacy to benefit society for future generations by supporting cultural and socially benevolent pursuits.

If our vision and mission resonate with you, we invite you to make a contribution to The Foundation. We promise that your gift will be gratefully received and utilized for the highest possible good.

Current Efforts
The Foundation is a major supporter of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) for their cancer research efforts. We are also supporting the Stanford University Department of Developmental Biology (Oncology Division) for their diabetes research efforts. At the same time, we are actively seeking individuals and other organizations that may be interested in supporting our foundation to help further our mission.
