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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
