Our Charities

In 2015, three years after Emily’s treatment, the Whitehead family established the Emily Whitehead Foundation to increase awareness of advanced therapies and the need for wider access to treatment.

Since its inception, the Foundation has connected countless families with experts and clinical trials, helped pave the way for over 45,000 individuals to access CAR T-cell therapy worldwide and raised over $4.5 million for revolutionary research so more patients can live a long full life.

With a global network of scientists, industry collaborators and generous contributors, the Foundation is driven to turn Emily’s survivor story into countless more survivor stories.

The Annapolis Rowing Club (ARC) is a nonprofit, community-based membership organization dedicated to promoting and advancing the sport of rowing through the widest possible range of opportunities for training and participation.  Our club members range from age 18 to age 70 and older, and we also feature Adaptive Rowing and Strokes 4 Survivors, a cancer survivors’ group, to share the joy of rowing in Anne Arundel County on the South River.
