Thank You from Philly Fights Cancer: Round 3

Monday, November 27, 2017

On behalf of Philly Fights Cancer and the Abramson Cancer Center, we thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for the fight to find a cure for cancer.

Philly Fights Cancer: Round 3 shattered records, raising over $7 million dollars. Philly Fights Cancer has now raised over $16 million dollars for translational research and clinical trials at the Abramson Cancer Center since 2015. Because of research through clinical trials, scientists and cancer researchers have been able to translate discoveries into new treatments for cancer, including the recent FDA approval of CAR-T therapy, among other exciting new advancements which are currently underway.

We would like to thank our incredible supporters, without whom this event would not be possible. We’d also like to thank this year’s Honorees, Dr. Lynn M. Schuchter, MD and the Tara Miller Melanoma Foundation, for continuing to inspire us. And lastly, we would like to thank you: our family and friends, who make Philly Fights Cancer a celebration that spans generations, and encourages everyone to come together with one common goal: to eradicate cancer, once and for all.

Co-Chairs, Philly Fights Cancer
