History

PROJECT C.U.R.E. was founded in 1987 by James Jackson. Dr. Jackson was working as an international economic consultant in developing nations around the globe when his work led him face to face with the needs of the sick and dying. During a trip to Brazil, Dr. Jackson visited a small clinic near Rio de Janeiro. Once inside, he learned that patients were often turned away due to the lack of basic medical supplies and equipment. Jackson was moved to action. He made a promise that he would help provide relief to those people. 

Dr. Jackson returned to his home in Evergreen, Colorado and with the assistance of friends in the medical industry he collected approximately $250,000 of medical supplies in his garage in approximately 30 days time. By personally paying the shipping expenses, Jackson was able to send an ocean-going cargo container to Brazil. In 1997, James Jackson's son, Dr. Douglas Jackson became president and CEO of PROJECT C.U.R.E.
		From its humble beginnings in the mountains of Colorado, PROJECT C.U.R.E. expanded to other cities across the United States. Currently, PROJECT C.U.R.E. maintains large distribution warehouses in Arizona, Colorado, Texas and Tennessee. In addition, PROJECT C.U.R.E. established smaller collection centers in other cities around the U.S. where donated items are gathered and then delivered to the distribution warehouses. PROJECT C.U.R.E. operates collection centers in 10 U.S. cities.

PROJECT C.U.R.E. has been an industry leader in developing new ways to allow the organization to provide the best quality donated medical supplies and equipment possible, including inventory systems, supply chain management, travel C.U.R.E. Kits, and both domestic and international volunteer opportunities. 

PROJECT C.U.R.E. has reached the medically underserved in more than 120 countries around the world. With the help of many that have the same passion and commitment to helping those around the world, PROJECT C.U.R.E. continues to Deliver Health and Hope to the World.
