After Ronnie passed away, a lot of people wanted to give money for cancer research and awareness. I'm very against big corporations taking a bunch of money, because where does it go?
According to Wendy Dio, the organization has raised about $2.5 million over the years, with funds going to the cancer research work of the T.J. Martell Foundation for Cancer, AIDS and Leukemia Research.
The annual Bowl for Ronnie celebrity tournament has been attended by notable musicians like Dave Grohl, Tom Morello, and actor Jack Black, raising awareness and funds for the cause.
Wendy Dio started the fund not long after her husband Ronnie died from stomach cancer. She wanted to ensure donations went directly to meaningful cancer research.
