So there's sort of this, Haymakers for Hope is a boxing charity event where the fighters include cancer survivors so you can fight someone who fought cancer and have them beat your ass all to raise money to fight more cancer.
In another disease (I have a connection to) there are two groups one sponsers "For the cure" events and less than 15% of what they raise goes to research. The board is all professionals in the treatment of the disease
The other the board is parents of Patients
Nearly all the money goes to research
