About the Foundation

The James Paul Sutton Medical Research Fund was established by the Last Wills and Testaments of his two sisters, Olive Sutton Caley and Mary Sutton Groves. By creating this perpetual trust, the Sutton family’s interest in continuing medical research, particularly cancer research, will benefit research efforts for many years to come.
