The Fonz Is Pimping For Big Pharma People of a certain age will remember the sitcom Happy Days and its leather jacket-clad mascot, "the Fonz." Aloof and ever-cynical, the Fonz epitomized late 1970's cool.

Few are aware of the existence of the CDC Foundation, a separate, nonprofit organization, established by Congress in 1992 to seek private-sector donations and public-private partnerships.
