About Us

The ACRF raises money for the Christine and Helen Landgraf Memorial Fund, which has given annual grants to doctors and research scientists at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center since 1973. The Landgraf Award was created by John and Helen Landgraf to honor their daughter, Christine, who died of Hodgkin’s disease at the age of 27.

All the proceeds from print sales of both Helen and Christine Landgraf’s work support cancer research at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center.
