We are mindful that cancer doesn’t stop during a pandemic and more than 1.6 million people will hear those words “You have cancer,” this year alone. So, your support is even more crucial during this time. Proceeds from the Gala will continue to support the Foundation’s grants programs – both research grants and fellowships and community outreach grants. And they will be used for a new campaign, “Back on the Books,” to remind people to reschedule their postponed or cancelled screenings.
*Tickets for this virtual event are FREE and available through the registration link at the top of this page. If you previously purchased a ticket or table sponsorship for the in-person event, it will be automatically transferred to the virtual event and you will receive modified benefits that coincide with your original sponsorship level. Gala sponsorships are still available. If you would like more information on the Gala, tickets or sponsorships please contact Lorelei Mitrani at Lorelei.Mitrani@preventcancer.org or (703) 519-2102.
