Welcome to The Amador Cancer Research Foundation


Supporting Innovative Cancer Research at UC Davis since 1973

About Us

The ACRF raises money for the Christine and Helen Landgraf Memorial Fund, which has given annual grants to doctors and research scientists at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center since 1973. The Landgraf Award was created by John and Helen Landgraf to honor their daughter, Christine, who died of Hodgkin’s disease at the age of 27.

Save the Date for the 17th Annual Spaghetti Western, The Last Roundup!

After 16 years this event is going to ride off into the sunset, but first we are going to have one more party!

The ACRF will continue to support cancer research in other ways, so keep an eye on the horizon for future events and educational seminars. Thank you!
