In 1981, The Charmettes, Incorporated adopted a national thrust to eradicate cancer in our lifetime. We have contributed more than $950,000 to the Howard University Cancer Center in Washington, D.C., to support cancer research and services. In recognition of our contributions and long-term commitment to the Howard University Cancer Center, an Infusion Suite was named The Charmettes, Incorporated Gwendolyn B.
