Events

The Prevent Cancer Foundation brings people together to tackle the biggest challenges facing the cancer prevention and early detection community in annual workshops, webinars and summits. Through dynamic conversation, workshops and projects with partners across the U.S., the Foundation works tirelessly to increase risk reduction and screening education, increase access to cancer screenings and influence policy and advocacy for accessible and equitable screening and care.

The Foundation also hosts fundraising events, including the Annual Gala that since 1994 has raised over $32 million to support cancer research, screening programs and advocacy activities.
