The New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research has spent the past 30 years leading the fight against cancer in the Garden State.

In fact, $40 out of the $50 fee (as well as the annual $10 renewal fee) for each specialty license plate helps fund grants for innovative cancer research right here in New Jersey.
