Dr. Robert Hollander, the winemaker and principle of 2redWinery, started small-volume wine making in 2007 in pursuit of a long-standing passion in wine. After he was diagnosed with prostate cancer at an incurable stage in 2010, Dr. Hollander, a highly-regarded clinician/teacher at the Gainesville VA Medical Center, affiliated with the University of Florida, then created his Foundation to fund prostate cancer research. Dr. Hollander funds his foundation through his non-profit winemaking and crowdfunding. His current crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo is currently two-thirds towards its goal was cited by the Indiegogo staff as an Indiegogo Staff Team Favorite.
The $20000 gift, while modest in terms of what researchers like Dr. Shenderov may receive in NIH-funded grants, represents more than 10% of the Hollander Foundation assets. In contrast, non-profit organizations are required to distribute 5% of their assets annually. “It’s personally important to me that we do the best we can,” observed Dr. Hollander.
