BRCA Beat: 2013 Spring Issue
The Basser Research Center for BRCA reports on donor Andy Cohen and research updates:
As we begin so many new and exciting endeavors with support from the Gray, Potter, and Basser families, we are reminded of the many donors who paved the way for the Basser Research Center for BRCA and look forward to telling their stories in upcoming BRCA Beat issues.
One such donor, Andrew J. Cohen, has supported the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer community for over a decade, having started the Marjorie B. Cohen Foundation in memory of his sister in 2001.“I was extremely close with my sister,” says Cohen. “In fact, growing up I truly viewed her as my best friend. After she passed, I felt compelled to do something so other families do not experience what our family went through. The Marjorie B. Cohen Foundation was created to provide the essential education to high risk individuals and families.”
