In making this grant, Thomas K. Glenn, President of the Foundation, acknowledged the "critical services provided by Georgia CORE which are so important to the search for a cure for cancer." According to Georgia CORE President, Nancy Paris, "it is an honor to receive this extraordinary investment from the Glenn Family Foundation in recognition of the combined efforts of community oncologists, academic reserchers, caregivers, educators and advocates in Georgia."
