65 Years CRI Awards Gala

In 2018, we celebrate the Cancer Research Institute's 65th birthday with the scientific and philanthropic leaders in immunotherapy.

Throughout CRI’s 65 years it has not wavered from the belief that the body’s immune system holds the key to curing cancer. Thanks to generations of scientists and millions of dollars in support from CRI we now know this to be true. So much is happening today that 65 years ago seemed impossible. The future has never been brighter. 

On Thursday, October 25, 2018, the Cancer Research Institute will bestow its highest honors on those who, like CRI, are dedicated to fueling the development of immunotherapies for all forms of cancer. Join us at The Metropolitan Club, 1 E 60th St, New York, NY 10022 from 6:30p.m. to 10:00p.m. 

Celebrate 65 years of scientific progress and a future immune to cancer as we honor those who share our vision. Reserve your tickets today!
