The Corliss Johnson Memorial Foundation was founded by Scott Johnson and a small group of family and friends to honor the memory and applaud the strength of Scott's wife, Corliss, who lost her battle with colon cancer in 2003. She was survived by Scott and their young daughters, Zoe, age 10, and Lexi, age 7. Their mission is to increase awareness and raise funds in support of research and treatment, and to provide support to organizations committed to helping those affected by cancer. In their first five years, they have donated almost $100,000.
