Because of these reasons, The City of Praise Cancer Research Foundation (COP CRF), a Non-Profit 501 (c)(3) Public Benefit Corporation, was formed in 2016, Los Angeles, California, USA. Lody de Ridder, Tom Saras and Dario Sunga MD, established the COP CRF for the purposes to raise funds for charitable, educational, medical missions & research activities, and to immediately build the 1st. hospital on the premises of the City of Praise, Kalimantan, Indonesia. The hospital would also serve as a community hospital and also as a cancer research facility for clinical trials. The COP CRF would also create educational cancer prevention and wellness programs. 

The clinical trial will be spearheaded under the leadership of Dario Sunga, MD, President of City of Praise Cancer Research Foundation and VP Chief Science Officer of Green Earth Vitamins, Inc., A plot of land has already been allocated for this purpose.
