Last weekend I attended the Hope Funds for Cancer Research Gala 2021. The Hope Funds is dedicated to advancing innovative research for the most difficult-to-treat cancers, The Award of Excellence Gala, at Marble House in Newport, Rhode Island, on Sunday, July 25th, raised nearly $300,000 for postdoctoral fellowships.
The Honorees receiving awards were Patricia F. Bilden, M.D. Susan Band Horwitz, Ph.D. Melissa Moore, Ph.D. Jedd Wolchok, M.S., M.D., Ph.D. and Joan A. Steitz, Ph.D.
"Being together, in-person, for the first time in more than 18 months, honoring these luminaries in the presence of our postdoctoral researchers and donors was fantastic," said Gala Co-Chair Andrew Mullen, PhD. The organization used an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of the guests, including holding the dinner outside and limiting seating to 70 guests on the Terrace and another 30 in the enchanting Marble House folly, the Tea House. “All 100 guests joined together for dessert buffet at the end of the evening, and scientists and supporters caught up on the progress made in the last year," said Leah Rush Cann, chair of the Executive Committee of the Board, “It was a magical evening.”
