SUMMARY:Prevent Cancer Foundation 30th Annual Gala
DESCRIPTION:On September 25\, the Prevent Cancer Foundation will hold its 30th Annual Gala to support cancer prevention and early detection programs. Over the last three decades\, funding from this Gala has led to breakthroughs in cancer research and innovative technologies\, including the development of new screening methods and early detection tools that have significantly improved patient outcomes. The Gala has also funded public education campaigns that have educated millions about the importance of cancer prevention and early detection.  \nThe 2024 Gala event will pay tribute to the United Kingdom\, honoring The British Ambassador\, Her Excellency Dame Karen Pierce DCMG and Sir Charles Roxburgh KCB. With every Gala since 1994\, the Foundation has honored a country that shares its commitment to ending cancer—past honorees include South Korea\, Australia and\, most recently\, Jordan.

Eshoo is a member of the Congressional Caucus on the Deadliest Cancers\, working on behalf of cancer patients and their families to raise awareness about the deadliest forms of cancer (defined as those with a five-year survival rate below 50%).   \nThe Prevent Cancer Gala is recognized as one of Washington’s premier events and is ranked among top Washington charity events\, attracting more than 1\,000 guests\, including members of Congress and the administration; the diplomatic community; and leaders in business\, government\, medical\, sports\, media\, social and philanthropic communities.    \nWhat: Prevent Cancer Annual Gala  \nWhen: Wednesday\, September 25  \nWhere: National Building Museum\, 401 F St. NW\, Washington\, D.C. 20001  \nDress: Business or formal attire
