Formosa Cancer Foundation
The Formosa Cancer Foundation (FCF) was founded in 1997 to respond to Taiwan's growing cancer crisis. The Foundation is strongly backed by professional medical organizations such as the Taiwan Oncology Society and National Health Research Institute as well as by corporates and individual supporters.
The FCF works to reduce cancer incidence and mortality through public education that focused on encouraging healthy diet, achieving early detection and raising the quality of medical care for cancer treatment. The FCF also provides services and support to cancer survivors.
FCF President, Wand Jin-pyng, is the Speaker of the National Legislature. FCF Vice President, Dr. Jacqueline Whang Peng, is an internationally respected oncologist and fellow of Taiwan's highest academic research organization, the Academica Sinica.
The proceeds of the concert will be donated to establish a survivor care and education center in Southern Taiwan. To facilitate recovery and smooth reintegration into society, the center offers to cancer survivors a broad suite of services that includes psychological counseling, nutritional guidance, relaxation therapy, music therapy, and courses in stress reduction.
