About Rexanna's Foundation for Fighting Lung Cancer

Rexanna’s Foundation for Fighting Lung Cancer is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 2007 and based in Texas that funds research, awareness, patient support programs, and early-detection initiatives focused on lung cancer, including cases in never-smokers and young-onset patients.

The foundation provides seed grants and program funding (including named grants such as the Pamela Henicke and Bruce Campbell research grants) and organizes community fundraising events—galas, regional Huddle Up events, and annual golf tournaments—to direct donor support to clinical research and survivorship programs.

Rexanna’s Foundation partners with clinical research groups and academic centers to translate seed funding into larger research awards and supports patient-centered programs such as survivorship initiatives and Sandy’s Project HOPE to provide emotional and practical support to people affected by lung cancer.
