make the trips and enjoy group sup
port along with the physical chal
lenges of the adventures.
“Our events capture people’s
imaginations and lay the groundwork
for the physical challenge,” says Moli
Steinert, development director for the
Breast Cancer Fund.
“Through these events, women
reclaim their bodies to do what they
think they couldn’t do because of
their cancer.”
Since 1992, the fund has gained
more than 50,000 supporters nation
wide and has raised more than S3
million in programs and grants.
The fund’s “Climb Against the
Odds” in June will see two teams of
women - one group of breast cancer
survivors and the other disease-free
young women from Princeton
University who represent a “future
free of breast cancer” - climb
Alaska’s Mt. McKinley.
They hope to raise $100 for every
foot of North America’s highest peak,
with a target of about $2 million.
As the mountain climb begins,
another group of breast cancer sur
vivors and supporters will set out on
a six-day Alaskan “Bike Against the
Odds” ride.
Twenty-five riders must present
$1,500 each in pledges and be respon
sible for their own tour and travel
fees.
The organization’s third
Whitewater Challenge will be a five-
day rafting trip on Idaho’s Salmon
River, Au^st 17-22.
Participants will pay for their trip
and travel expenses and must raise a
minimum of $1,000 in pledges to par
ticipate.
“What we’ve found in the scale
and scope of our events,” says
Burwell, “is that people are trusting
us with their Uves. They don’t treat
fundraising with a cavalier attitude.”

Lasting Legaq^ to the Carolinas:
The Duke Endowment,
1924-1994
Robert F. Durden
Like most founders of large philanthropic
foundations in the United States, James B.
Duke assumed that the Duke Endowment
would continue its charitable activity forever.
Lasting Legacy to the Carolinas is an exami
nation of the history of this foundation
and the ways in which it has—and has not—
followed Duke’s original design.
Although the Endowment’s philanthropic
purposes continue to be served, Lasting
Legacy to the Carolinas explains the impact
of a century of political and social
change on J. B. Duke’s innovative
charitable intentions.
