History
The Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Program was founded in 1984 and named in memory of record and film executive, Neil Bogart, who died of lymphoma at the age of 39. Songwriter Carole Bayer Sager and Neil’s widow, Joyce Bogart Trabulus, cited Neil’s love of children and his resolve that one person could make a difference as their inspiration for creating the foundation in his name.
Bogart joined efforts with the early development of a pediatric program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). Beginning with only one small laboratory, today Bogart supports several research programs and has contributed over $25 million to their five laboratories at CHLA to support innovative research for leukemia, cancer and AIDS.
