Winn the Fight
Winn the Fight was founded by family and friends of Karl Winn, who lost a courageous battle with cancer in September 2007. Through a partnership with Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center (GHS), the first goal is to fund a tissue bank in Greenville at the Clinical Research Unit.
