Bill has always been
eager to assist many different charities in their
endeavors to improve the lives of others. However,
due to the number of requests received by Bill, and
the Bill Elliott Fan Club, Bill has been forced to
choose specific charities with which he would like
to be involved at the national level. Please help
us in our efforts to support the following charities.

M. D. Anderson Cancer Center is recognized worldwide for developing diagnostic abilities to zero in on each patient's cancer problem, allowing teams of experts to tailor each patient's treatment for the best possible outcome --- from the start. That's important because when it comes to cancer, there is no second chance for the best possible outcome.
M. D. Anderson has been ranked as one of the two best cancer care centers in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for 10 consecutive years. In recent years, McCall's, Coping magazine, Good Housekeeping, Self magazine, and Family Circle, and several health care referral services such as the Best Doctors, cite M. D. Anderson's experts as among the best in the nation. More importantly, patients have overwhelming praise for how they are treated, how they are given a new lease on life or, for many, how M. D. Anderson saved their lives. In survey after survey --- one is taken every three months --- 93 percent of all patients thought M. D. Anderson had either met or exceeded their expectations, and 90 percent of them said they would definitely recommend M. D. Anderson to others. M. D. Anderson is one of only 35 cancer centers nationwide meeting the tough federal standards for designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute.
M.D. Anderson's focus is exclusively on cancer patient care, research, education and prevention. Both Bill's father, George Elliott, and his nephew, Casey Elliott, were patients at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
