Carol's Life and Legacy
A few years after the death of her husband, Alexander Baldwin Jr. because of lung cancer, Carol has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The breast cancer survivor dedicated her life to finding a cure for breast cancer. She joined several Long- Island-wide breast cancer support groups to launch an effort with SUNY Stony Brook. After battling sickness, she had a leadership role at the Central NY Chapter of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in Syracuse.
Through the help of the campus president Shirley Strum Kenny, the Carol M Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund was established at Stony Brook in 1996. For some later years, with the combined efforts of Carol and the SUNY Upstate University, they had raised millions of dollars for the cause. The funds were raised for breast cancer research at University Hospital and Medical Center at Stony Brook.
On a Twitter post, the SUNY Upstate Medical University honored her saying that she was an "indefatigable warrior against breast cancer." Many of Upstate projects in research of cancer cure were supported through her namesake fund. Upstate stated that they will continue the legacy she started.
Her grandchild, Hailey Bieber also celebrated her grandmother's life and legacy through her Instagram post.
