William Guy Forbeck Research Foundation

William Guy Forbeck Research Foundation The Forbeck Foundation was established in 1984 by George and Jennifer Forbeck after losing their son Billy to neuroblastoma at age 11.

They launched the first Forbeck Forum in 1985, uniting top cancer researchers to share findings and advance treatments. While the Foundation may provide grants for pilot research studies and educational efforts, its centerpiece activity will be an annual Forum, a scientific roundtable held at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Attending the Forum each year will be twelve to fifteen physicians and scientists who will meet in a completely private "think tank" environment, where they can exchange ideas freely in the hope of building on each other's ideas, knowledge, and experience. The objective is not to discuss published research, but rather to provide a forum for the cross fertilization of ideas, concepts, and observations. Participants will be invited to the Forum based on the recommendation of the Foundation's Scientific Advisory Board, a distinguished panel of physicians and scientists. We fully support the activities of the William Guy Forbeck Research Foundation Junior Board, particularly the Scholar Retreat.

Our Forbeck Fall Retreat is happening right now. Young cancer researchers and their mentors from across the globe are spending three days together here in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin sharing ideas and discussing what's next in cancer research.

What makes a Forbeck retreat special? It's small, relaxed, and personal. Scholars talk about their work, mentors cheer them on and push them to think bigger, and some of the best ideas come up over coffee or sometimes even around the dinner table. πŸ•

A huge thank you to our Scholars and mentors for their passion and generosity. We're also grateful to the families, donors, and friends who make these retreats possible. Your support helps these scientists build the future of cancer treatment. πŸ’™
