THE FOUNDATION CARRIES ON A BONA FIDE CONTINUOUS PUBLIC SOLICITATIONS PROGRAM. ITS FUNDRAISING EFFORTS INCLUDE ANNUAL MAILINGS TO SOLICIT FUNDS, PUBLISHING OF AN ANNUAL REPORT TO EDUCATE ITS DONOR BASE AND FURTHER SOLICIT DONATIONS, AND OTHER FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES. IN 2020 THE FOUNDATION WAS UNABLE TO HOLD ITS ANNUAL FUNDRAISING GALA, DUE TO COVID-19 SOCIAL DISTANCING RESTRICTIONS. THE 2019 GALA HAD RAISED NEARLY $143,000 WHICH WAS A MARKED INCREASE FROM OUR 2017 FIRST GALA WHICH RAISED OVER $98,000. HOWEVER, IN 2020 A NEW PEER-TO-PEER CAMPAIGN WAS LAUNCHED, MAX-A-THON, WHICH RAISED CLOSE TO $40K. IN 2017 AND 2018 WE ALSO HAD INTERNATIONAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS CALLED MAX GLOBAL EXPERIENCE WHICH RAISED OVER $109,000 AND OVER $80,000, RESPECTIVELY, FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. SINCE 2017 FIVE MULTINATIONAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES JOINED THE FOUNDATION IN WHAT WE CALL A HUMANITARIAN PARTNERSHIP FOR ACCESS TO CANCER TREATMENT (PACT). THROUGH THESE HUMANITARIAN COLLABORATIONS, EACH COMPANY HAS COMMITTED TO DONATE PRESCRIBED MEDICATIONS FOR A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF PATIENTS WITHIN THEIR CAPABILITIES, AND ALL HAVE COMMITTED THEIR SUPPORT FOR AS LONG AS EACH PATIENT NEEDS IT.

VETTED HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES INITIATE THE PRODUCT REQUEST AND MANAGE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS RECEIVING PRODUCT FROM THE FOUNDATION. THE FOUNDATION WORKS THROUGH A THIRD-PARTY LOGISTICS PROVIDER WHO, AS ITS AGENT, RECEIVES PRODUCT FROM MANUFACTURERS AND SHIPS IT TO END USERS ON THE ORGANIZATION'S BEHALF.AT THE CENTER OF OUR MODEL IS A PATIENT WHO HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER BY ONE OF OUR PARTNER PHYSICIANS AND PRESCRIBED A TREATMENT IN OUR PORTFOLIO FOR WHICH NO LOCAL ACCESS EXISTS.
