I had previously run social committees with various non-profits before meeting with Dr. Ed Franklin, a renowned immunologist from NYU to learn more about this (at the time) new treatment for cancer. My conversation with Dr. Franklin was life changing because I decided to put my fundraising efforts into cancer immunotherapy research.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I served in roles of president for 10 years and chairman of the board for 11 years. While at Irvington I was part of the group who created the first scientific advisory board. This group awarded funding to the first class of Irvington fellows.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After I stepped away from Irvington Institute it merged with CRI and CEO&nbsp;Dr. Jill O\u2019Donnell-Tormey, asked me to join the board and that began my involvement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tell us more about the Through the Kitchen fundraiser.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While at Irvington Institute, I ran an exclusive fundraiser for friends called Through the Kitchen, held at the Four Seasons Restaurant (in Manhattan). It was a unique event; guests received special access to the kitchen where they were served from various food stations. Everyone who attended helped us raise money for fellowships.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Through the Kitchen event has a special theme which I am fond of. There was even one time when we brought ducks to swim in the pool (safely) at the Four Seasons. As my grandson becomes more involved in this event, I am excited to see the next generation take over fundraising for cancer immunotherapy research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How did you become involved with CRI?&nbsp;&nbsp; I began my involvement in cancer research in the 1970s by working with the Irvington House (later renamed Irvington Institute), an organization dedicated to immunotherapy [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28290,"template":"single-cri_stories_womens-history-month","cri_story_type":[716,748],"resource_cancer_types":[],"resource_patient_age":[],"resource_cancer_stage":[],"resource_treatment_type":[],"resource_treatment_status":[],"class_list":["post-28218","cri_stories","type-cri_stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cri_story_type-womens-history-month","cri_story_type-whm-2023"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
