The RITA (Research Is The Answer) Foundation, Inc. is a Jacksonville based volunteer non- profit organization. Our mission is to raise awareness and money to help in the fight against all cancers, with emphasis on breast cancer. These may include clinical research, basic research, education, awareness, and patient related breast cancer programs. We will generate revenue through special fund raising events; donate all net proceeds as unrestricted grants; operate with no salary expense or overhead expenses. With your help, RITA events have raised well over $6 million dollars since inception. All funds will be donated to 501(c)(3) programs in the greater Jacksonville, Florida area.
