The Dutch Cancer Society (DCS; in Dutch: 'KWF Kankerbestrijding' ) is a Dutch Society committed to fight cancer by scientific research, education, patient support and fundraising in cooperation with volunteers, donors, patients, doctors and researchers. By this commitment, DCS targets less cancer, more cures and a higher quality of life for cancer patients. Its motto is, 'Everyone Deserves a Tomorrow' . The Dutch Cancer Society was established in 1949. Her Majesty Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands at that time, celebrated her Golden Jubilee in 1948 and received a 'National Gift', an amount of almost two million Dutch guilders (currently this would be worth over eight million euros), which she decided to dedicate to the fight against cancer. The Queen Wilhelmina Fund Foundation ( 'Stichting Koningin Wilhelmina Fonds' ) was established in March 1949 to manage this money. A group of Amsterdam dignitaries established the Society for Support of the Queen Wilhelmina Fund ( 'Vereniging tot Steun aan het Koningin Wilhelmina Fonds' ) in that same month, to raise funds so the Foundation would be able to continue its work after having spent the National Gift. The Society and Foundation merged to one organization led by a Board on 1 June 2007. More information...
