Mutual Funds Against Cancer (MFAC), one of the leading advocates in the fight against cancer within the mutual fund and financial industry, recently announced Interactive Data Corporation (NYSE: IDC) as its Foundation Sponsor for the next two years. Through a series of fundraising events, including the �Expect Miracles Golf Classic� and the �Expect Miracles Wine Extravaganza�, MFAC, Interactive Data and other leading mutual fund and financial services companies will work together to raise money and awareness to fight cancer. MFAC has recently pledged to donate $4 million to the Center For Applied Cancer Sciences (CACS). CACS, which is part of The Belfer Institute for Innovative Cancer Science at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, is creating a drug discovery and development pipeline for six cancers: colon, pancreas, lung, melanoma (skin), myeloma (blood) and glioblastoma (brain). This has been identified as a priority in the Institute�s strategic plan for research because its overarching goal is to accelerate the development of promising investigational new drugs (INDs) for each of these six diseases. �Interactive Data shares Mutual Funds Against Cancer�s core belief that through research we can �expect miracles� when it comes to finding a cure for cancer,� said Stuart Clark, president and chief executive officer, Interactive Data Corporation. �We are very pleased to have deepened our relationship with Mutual Funds Against Cancer. By working together, we look forward to raising money for the cutting-edge research required to find a cure for this deadly disease that has impacted so many of our lives.� �Mutual Funds Against Cancer is elated to have Interactive Data Corporation join our team as foundation sponsor and is looking forward to working with Interactive Data to raise awareness and significant funds for CACS,� stated Frank Strauss, Founder and Chairman of MFAC. �Interactive Data exemplifies leadership when it comes to the financial information used by the mutual fund community, and now the company has taken a leadership role in the fight to eradicate cancer� he added.
