Foundation for NCI-Designated Cancer Center Selects New Officers
Metuchen Resident Re-elected Chair of CINJ Foundation Board of Trustees
|
New Brunswick — The Cancer Institute of New Jersey Foundation (CINJF) has selected its slate of officers for Fiscal Year 2008, which begins July 1. CINJF, a non-profit organization, raises funds to support New Jersey’s only National Cancer Institute – designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, an elite distinction held by only 38 other cancer centers in the country.
Metuchen resident Leslie Logan Taylor, Managing Partner, Matrix Development Group, was selected again to serve as chairperson. “It is through the commitment of this body that we will be able to continue to support the extraordinary cancer research, treatment, education and prevention programs for the people of New Jersey,” said Taylor. “We are fortunate that we are able to draw from our collective experience to promote CINJ’s fight against cancer.”
Former CINJ Director William N. Hait, M.D., Ph.D., of Princeton will serve as President of the Board. Hait is the Senior Vice President and Head Worldwide Hematology/Oncology Research and Development at Johnson & Johnson. He also is the current President of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Cranbury resident James M. Golubieski, who is the President of New Jersey Health Foundation, Inc. and the Foundation of University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, was selected as Vice Chairperson and Secretary of the CINJF Board of Trustees.
Thomas A. Bracken of Skillman will serve as Treasurer. He is the former President and Chief Executive Officer of Sun National Bank.
“Thanks to the dedication and commitment of the CINJ Foundation Board of Trustees, our physicians and scientists are able to advance research in areas such as cancer prevention, the development of vaccines and the discovery of more effective, less toxic treatments, said Joseph R. Bertino, M.D., Interim Director, CINJ and University Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology, UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. “With continued support, CINJ is able to provide the best cancer care for all New Jerseyans, right in their own communities.”
Still in its infancy, CINJF has raised $10-million dollars since it was formed nearly two years ago. It raises funds through corporation and foundation support, gifts from individuals, special events and planned giving.
