Major Live Event Fundraisers Coming Online In August

“This gala represents a unique opportunity to tell the story of Israel’s truly world-class research to a national audience in an entertaining, informative and engaging fashion,” said ICRF President Rob Densen. “We have an all-star lineup of scientists, journalists and entertainers, reflecting the strong appeal of the cause – ridding the world of the scourge that is cancer.” 

“This gala is critical,” said Dr. Mark Israel, National Executive Director of the Israel Cancer Research Fund. “We are currently funding more than 70 different cancer research projects. But these are perilous times. The coronavirus continues to loom large in all our lives.” He noted the pandemic fallout how been “affecting the ICRF’s ability to fund world-class, life-saving cancer research.”

“They say laughter is the best medicine. But you know who says that? Comedians,”  Alexander said. “The best medicine is actually the product of brilliant cancer researchers working diligently and tirelessly in labs in Israel and across the world. That’s why I am so honored to contribute in some small way to this important cause.”
