T.J. Martell Foundation

The T.J. Martell Foundation is leading the music community’s fight to end cancer through the funding of high-risk, high reward research. From pioneering medications to advanced technologies for tumor tracking to cutting-edge analysis of genetic and microbiome data, our grants are saving lives through advancements in cancer screening, early detection, and treatment. For nearly five decades, we have championed the trailblazing research of diligent scientists and doctors who are committed to finding a cure. What started as a promise between a father and a son who he tragically lost to cancer, we honor the belief that the bond we all share with music can be used to strengthen the bond between a family, between a patient and a doctor and between a scientist and their research.
