Where do our proceeds go? Liga Contra el Cancer (League Against Cancer) founded in Miami in 1975 as a community based, not for profit organization providing free medical care to needy cancer patients. More than 350 South Florida physicians, who are board-certified in their specialties, volunteer their services to La Liga. The dedication and support of volunteer physicians, and on going assistance of volunteers maintain administrative cost at about 12% of operational budgets. La Liga is the last resort for cancer victims who have no financial resources or health insurance. Since 1975, more than 50,000 low-income, uninsured men, women and children have received world-class medical treatment, screenings, guidance and support from La Liga, which represents a very significant economic saving to the State of Florida. Mission Statement: To provide free medical care to needy cancer patients without regards to race, creed or national origin provided that they have established legal residence in the State of Florida.
