The Ruth Strauss Foundation: Turning Grief into Hope for a Brighter Tomorrow

In honor of his late wife, Ruth, former England cricket captain Andrew Strauss established the Ruth Strauss Foundation to change the face of rare cancers. Andrew was compelled to make a difference in the lives of others after seeing Ruth’s valiant fight against the sickness. Financing research, supporting families, and increasing awareness about the significance of early diagnosis are the main priorities of the foundation.

The yearly auction is a highlight of the foundation’s programming, drawing in a diverse crowd of supporters, notable individuals, and sports fans. From rare sports memorabilia and autographed cricket bats to unforgettable events like meet-and-greets with players, the auction covers it all every year. In addition to inspiring exciting bidding wars, these contributions bring people together in a spirit of camaraderie around a common goal.

The foundation’s sponsored research initiatives and aid programs get direct funding from the auction. Better treatment choices and more support for families dealing with rare cancers are a result of every bid that is made. People are feeling hopeful and determined as they gather as supporters, which serves as a powerful reminder that they can all make a difference when they work together. Come together with us as we work to improve the lives of the underprivileged and carry on Ruth’s legacy.
