The Cancer League members have not let the COVID pandemic stop them from their pursuit to continue to fund groundbreaking cancer research. With the 47th annual Holly Ball event slated for December 4th, members and donors will gather remotely over Zoom to continue the fight against cancer!
The virtual event kicks off on Friday, December 4th at 7:00pm with a welcome from President, Lucy Ridgway followed by featured speakers Alan Ashworth, PhD, President of UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and Dr. Mekhail Anwar, recipient of the NIH New Innovator Award and recipient of seed funding from The Cancer League.
