This year as COVID changed the world we live in, Hope Funds for Cancer Research was faced with the challenge of how to move forward with their annual weekend of events.
After long discussions and many ideas it was decided to go ahead with the Scientific meeting and Women in Science panel discussion to be held over Zoom and to replace the white tie gala with a casual dinner for the local patrons and volunteers keeping the group to under 20 guests and having it outside at the Tennis Hall of Fame and more than 100 virtual guests viewing a film on Hope Funds produced by Hope Funds Life Trustee Gary Jobson.
The weekend was a huge success and still managed to raise over $200,000.
Hope Funds Trustee Leah Cann and her husband Ross kicked off the weekend by dressing up in their formal wear and standing outside the Breakers, the location for the future Gala to be held in December of 2021.
After the Zoom meeting was done the crew took time for some group photos to help document the occasion.
While many researchers have been called to help discover a vaccine for COVID, the work of cancer research remains the focus for Hope Funds. Their contribution to the world of science continues.
