at the Core Club in New York City.
The Spring Ball Co-Chairs announced exciting details for this year’s
Spring Ball which will be held on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 including the
just confirmed exciting musical performance by Mary
J. Blige and music
by the world-famous DJ Cassidy who will be sure to
get the crowd dancing until the wee hours of the night. Most importantly,
the co-chairs announced the special initiative in which the evening’s
proceeds will benefit and will honor Dr. Charles
L. Sawyers, Chair
of the Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program (HOPP) for his innovation
and scientific achievements. During the evening, additional funds will
be raised for HOPP to fund leading-edge research focusing on the development
of highly effective, nontoxic targeted cancer therapies. HOPP brings
teams of physician-scientists with diverse clinical and scientific
training together under one roof and provides the resources and infrastructure
required to achieve this goal.
