The ABCs officially established in 1990, was born out of a group of dedicated philanthropists who had originally been associated with the Eddie Cantor Charitable Foundation, which supported a variety of charities. This group evolved into the ABCs in order to devote all its resources to eradicating breast and prostate cancer; diseases that, unfortunately, impact everyone. Today, the ABCs organization is comprised of close to 200 men and women who reside mainly in the Los Angeles Westside area. Many are highly successful professionals in a variety of fields, including the entertainment industry.
