Recognition, Remembrance and Reflection

Invited to collaborate, the CDC Foundation joined CDC and Voices For Our Fathers Legacy Foundation to develop a scholarship fund—honoring the lives of the study’s participants by granting merit scholarships to their descendants. The scholarship fund is but one way to build a better future, upholding the parting requests of the unwilling study participants: to always remember and never repeat. CDC, Voices For Our Fathers Legacy Foundation and the CDC Foundation are dedicated to honoring the memories of the men in the study as well their lives.
