Very true. The St. Jude's message was mainly made just because they
had an exciting and interesting fundraising opportunity that I thought
brothers would enjoy participating in. But there are definitely other
centers of cancer research around the country. The government's
national cancer institute (NCI) has a pretty extensive website on
cancer research, and all sorts of useful information:

For a location map of the NCI-designated cancer centers around the US,
