Started in 2008, Crawfish for Cancer is dedicated to raising funds for research for multiple myeloma cancer. By providing events that cater to young professionals we are able to raise much needed funds in the fight against this currently incurable disease.
The passion for this cause is a result of CFC’s Founder’s father having multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of your plasma cells, a type of white blood cell present in your bone marrow. Plasma cells normally make proteins called antibodies to help you fight infections.

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of your plasma cells, a type of white blood cell present in your bone marrow. Plasma cells normally make proteins called antibodies to help you fight infections.
In multiple myeloma, a group of abnormal plasma cells (myeloma cells) multiplies, raising the number of plasma cells to a higher than normal level. Since these cells normally make proteins, the level of abnormal proteins in your blood also may go up. Health problems caused by multiple myeloma can affect your bones, immune system, kidneys and red blood cell count
We at CFC aren’t qualified to do cancer research; therefore we turn over the success of our efforts to those that are qualified. In 2009, our success benefitted the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.
Origins
The origins of CFC’s signature event, the annual Crawfish Boil, began as a tradition at Williams College. The Founders and Board of Directors of CFC are Williams alumni and have brought the Crawfish Boil that they started at Williams to New York City. The Crawfish Boil at Williams will celebrate its 8th anniversary this year; it began as a cultural event in the mind of some of the Southerners at Williams. CFC has realized the popularity of the event among Yankees and decided to harness that popularity for a great cause, cancer research.
