GuideVine Technologies, Inc<\/a>. (GuideVine), an online platform that helps consumers find a right-fit financial advisor, is pleased to announce that the Cancer Research Institute<\/a> (CRI) will be its first philanthropic partner for the new year. The partnership will run January through March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1953, CRI is the world\u2019s only nonprofit organization dedicated to funding scientific research focused exclusively on harnessing the immune system\u2019s natural ability to fight cancer. This work has led to breakthrough treatments, called immunotherapy, that are effective in the treatment of certain cancers, including lung cancer, melanoma, and many others. Considered one of the most promising approaches to cancer treatment, immunotherapy is poised to become a cornerstone of treatment for all types of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPartnering with the CRI is an enormous honor for us,\u201d said GuideVine CEO and Co-founder Raghav Sharma. \u201cGuideVine is dedicated to helping consumers find unbiased financial advice that meets their needs by facilitating connections with professional financial advisors. For each consumer who has an initial meeting with an advisor during the months of January, February and March, we will donate $100 to CRI. This is a way for GuideVine, and the consumers we serve, to participate in the fight against cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are delighted to have been selected by GuideVine as their philanthropy partner to kick off the New Year,\u201d said \u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00adJill O\u2019Donnell-Tormey, CEO and Director of Scientific Affairs at the Cancer Research Institute. \u201cWe appreciate their desire to help people take control of their finances while also contributing to vital cancer research that can have an enormous impact on so many lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know that for many people, it can be intimidating to take that that first step to meet with a financial advisor and it often gets pushed to the back burner,\u201d said Sharma. \u201cGuideVine users who take the first step toward planning for their financial futures can, at the same time, advance CRI\u2019s mission to discover and develop immunotherapies to cure all types of cancer. Our $100 donations to this critical effort could be just the motivator our users need to help them move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
