ایالت واشنگتن - On Sept. 15, the Prevent Cancer Foundation will open the doors of the National Building Museum for the Foundation’s 2022 gala. The group broke records last year, raising $2 million at its December 2021 gala. This year’s event is currently on track to surpass that fundraising total in support of cancer prevention and early detection.
Proceeds from the Gala will support Foundation programs, including research grants and fellowships and community grants. Funds will also support many of the Foundation’s public education campaigns, such as “Back on the Books,” which encourages everyone to schedule their routine cancer screenings, and “Too Young for This Sh*t,” which educates the public about the rise of colorectal cancer in young adults.
Each year, the Prevent Cancer Foundation Annual Gala honors a country that shares its commitment to ending cancer. The 2022 Gala will pay tribute to Australia, honoring His Excellency, Ambassador Arthur Sinodinos AO and Mrs. Elizabeth Sinodinos. This year’s event, themed Bounding Ahead, will feature an evening of live music and inspirational stories while highlighting some of Australia’s delicacies and delights.
The Foundation will present the 2022 Cancer Champion award to Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Representatives Terri Sewell (D-Ala.), Jodey Arrington (R-Texas), Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.) and Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) for their leadership on the Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act (S.1873 and H.R. 1946). With this bill, they aim to overcome access barriers that exist for Medicare beneficiaries by creating a pathway for timely coverage of multi-cancer early detection tests once they are approved by the Food and Drug Administration and clinical benefit is shown.
The Gala is recognized as one of Washington’s premier events and was ranked number four among all Washington charity events in 2018 and 2019 by Biz Bash. It is a widely attended event, with past guests including members of Congress and the administration; the diplomatic community; and leaders in business, government, medical, sports, media, social and philanthropic communities.
