V FOUNDATION
The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded in 1993 by ESPN and the late Jim Valvano, legendary North Carolina State University basketball coach and ESPN commentator. The V Foundation has funded over $310 million in game-changing cancer research grants nationwide through a competitive process strictly supervised by a world-class Scientific Advisory Committee and ad-hoc reviewers. Over the last decade, TransPerfect’s global team has contributed nearly $2 million to this life-saving work via an array of events and fundraisers.

AFANOC
AFANOC is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting families of children with cancer and other chronic illnesses. They also provide integral psychosocial care and playful educational and therapeutic activities for these children and their families. In 2011, AFANOC built ‘The House of Xuklis’. Since then, they have been able to offer accommodation to families who need to relocate in order to receive treatment at the main reference hospitals in Barcelona. The ‘Xuklis’ were conceived as imaginary characters who banish negative energy, working tirelessly to help children and their families overcome the obstacles of illness. TransPerfect hosts a yearly Mountain Challenge in Barcelona, a multi-level Orienteering race, with more than 400 participants raising critical funds to support AFANOC’s work.

WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN
Food is essential to life every single day, all over the world—and it is more important than ever in a crisis. Not only is a thoughtful, freshly-prepared meal one less thing someone has to worry about in the wake of a disaster, it is a reminder that you are not alone, someone is thinking about you, and someone cares. In 2010, Chef José Andrés, ready to use his culinary knowledge and talent to help, headed to Haiti following a devastating earthquake. It wasn’t just about feeding people in need—it was about listening, learning, and cooking side by side with the people impacted by the crisis. This is the real meaning of comfort food, and it’s the core value that José, along with his wife Patricia, used at the center of founding World Central Kitchen. Since then, WCK has been on the ground helping survivors of countless other disasters—both natural and manmade. Phil and TransPerfect have been proud to support that work in locations from Puerto Rico to Turkey and Syria.
