JASON ALEXANDER will emcee Israel Cancer Research Fund Virtual Gala August 5
The Ribbons of Hope Gala on Wednesday, August 5 will feature the presentation of the Tower of Hope Humanitarian Award to Jason Alexander, in recognition of his generous support of cancer research in Israel and the Israel Cancer Research Foundation.
The evening will combine comedy and song, to help support ICRF’s mission to fund the best and brightest cancer researchers in Israel.
Feature appearances from Tom Brokaw, Eugene Levy, Bonnie Hunt, and Academy and Oscar Award Winner Benj Pasek, as well as special presentations by cancer survivors and Israeli cancer scientists, will make for a fabulous celebration. Viewers will be able to make online donations and place bids on an online auction, which will open on the gala site in the last week of July.
The Israel Cancer Research Fund is the largest charitable organization outside of Israel solely devoted to supporting cancer research in Israel. Grants issued by ICRF have gone to hundreds of researchers.
“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.”
