Our Purpose: Ending Cancer

Today, health innovations exist that treat cancer. What if we could prevent cancer in the first place and make it a thing of the past like small pox?

Impossible?  Improbable?  

They said the same thing about crypto!

Too many of us have lost loved ones or watched them struggle with a cancer while their doctors search for answers. Their answer may be in the lab of a researcher or developing at a local start-up but it probably will not be ready for them in time. The Purpose of this Grand Challenge is to accelerate the development of new technologies that could End Cancer.

Statistics at a Glance: The Burden of Cancer Worldwide

  • Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2022, there were almost 20 million new cases and 9.7 million cancer-related deaths worldwide.
  • By 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 29.9 million and the number of cancer-related deaths to 15.3 million.
  • Generally, cancer rates are highest in countries whose populations have the highest life expectancy, education level, and standard of living. But for some cancer types, such as cervical cancer, the reverse is true, and the incidence rate is highest in countries in which the population ranks low on these measures.

The total cost of cancer to the global economy will reach 25.2 trillion international dollars between 2020 and 2050, according to an analysis of 29 cancers across 204 countries. Of that, five types of cancer will account for roughly half of that cost. (Source: NATURE)

Your Opportunity

The IRS classifies cryptocurrencies as property, so cryptocurrency donations to 501(c)3 charities like OTEF receive the same tax treatment as stocks. Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. Please contact your tax or financial advisor for more information.
