From the website of the Jimmy V Foundation:

The V Foundation for Cancer Research was started in 1993 to honor Jim Valvano. From very humble beginnings of Jim's personal friends and family, The Foundation grew. Today, that circle of friends has expanded and the support structure of The Foundation includes people of all walks of life, those who knew Jim personally, those who knew of Jim and many who have joined the cause simply because they believe in the possibility of Jim's final wish - to fund research to find cures for cancer.
The V Foundation takes great pride in its fiscal responsibility and is proud to announce that it gives 100 percent of all new direct cash donations to cancer research and related programs.
There are not a lot of charities where every penny of your donation goes toward the stated goal of the charity; the V Foundation is one of them.
Jimmy V's advice to those who watch the above video of his now famous speech, delivered on the occasion of his being awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 1993 ESPY Awards Ceremony, was threefold. He said that every day we should laugh, we should think, and we should cry. Just listening to his speech makes every listener do all three of of those, without even trying.
Jimmy V died, on April 28, 1993, eight weeks after giving this speech. R.I.P.
