The 10th ANNUAL RESEARCH BREAKFAST WAS A SMASHING SUCCESS! Thank you to all who supported our efforts!
Shooting for the Moon: New Frontiers in Cancer Prevention, Detection, and Treatment : The implications of the President's “Moonshot” and the Precision Medicine Initiatives underlie the theme of this year’s event:
In its 10th year, this premier event brings together more than a hundred leaders from the business, education, government and research communities to advance the work of ACS CAN. The event not only unites those in the San Diego area who are fighting to end cancer, it serves to support ACS CAN, the nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy affiliate of the American Cancer Society and its work to ensure that elected officials across the country make cancer a top national priority.
Thank you to our 2016 Sponsors:
