Powering Progress

Join us at our Annual Awards Gala and be inspired by the bold thinkers driving change in immunotherapy research to bring us closer to a world immune to cancer.

Courage in Motion

Courage in Motion is what happens when bold ideas and brave people move forward – together. It’s about momentum: momentum of immunotherapy, discovery, and CRI’s mission to create a world immune to cancer.

This year we celebrate the breakthroughs that have transformed cancer treatment, and the shared drive to unlock what’s next. We mark two major milestones – the 15-year anniversary of the ipilimumab (Yervoy®) clinical trial and the 10-year anniversary of the combined ipilimumab/nivolumab (Opdivo®) clinical trial—but we do so with our eyes firmly on the future.

Courage in Motion honors the scientists who challenge the limits of what’s known, the patients who take brave steps into the unknown, and the community of supporters who make progress possible.
