Overview

The Carole & Robin Reid Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was started in 2012 in Akron. The Foundation aimed to raise funds for the Akron Breast Team, working on the integration of breast reconstruction with cancer diagnosis and treatment. The Akron Breast Team (The University of Akron, Summa Health System and Akron General Medical Center) aims to integrate Akron inventions to combine cancer diagnosis and treatment with breast reconstruction to radically improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients. The Foundation will raise funds and donate to universities and charitable research institutions conducting breast cancer research that will benefit women by transferring innovations from the laboratory to the patient. Our goal is to raise $2 million to get a drug eluting tissue expander (Dr.Puskas' magic claws) for breast reconstruction into clinical trials.
