Cancer ruins the lives of so many people. It hit my family back in 2002 when my dad was diagnosed with Colin Cancer. 2 short years later in 2004 he passed away. When cancer personally affects you or those you love you constantly wonder โWHEN will there be a CURE?โ The Non-Profit Gateway For Cancer Research mission is short and simple โOur mission instills a sense of urgency to accelerate the pace of cancer research,โ said Teresa Hall Bartels, president, Gateway for Cancer Research.
Last year I had the pleasure of interviewing celebrities on the red carpet for the 25th Annual Star-Studded Gateway for Cancer Research Cures Gala. The theme was The Great Gatsby and celebrities like Ceelo Green, Carley Rae Jepsen, Michael Bolton, Sinbad, The Tenors, Peter Cetera, and David Foster all came out to support a great cause that touches so many lives.
The 2017 26th Annual Gateway for Cancer Research Cures Gala will take place on Saturday, November 18th. The theme will be โGateway to Oz.โ As always ALL proceeds will support Gateway For Cancer Research. To find out more about this event and how you can get involved check out the press release below.
