Cancer Moonshot Breakfast & EpiCUREan Symposium
Featuring Guest Speaker Greg Simon, Former President of the Biden Cancer Initiative at the Biden Foundation
During the breakfast, guests will learn firsthand about the remarkable progress made by the Cancer Moonshot initiative dedicated to advancing research to improve the lives of people with cancer, those at risk, and their loved ones.
EpiCUREan Symposium
Scientists and researchers will engage guests in an enlightening discussion on resistance to therapies. Doctors will highlight the spectacular advances in both cancer treatments AND the challenges in meeting cancer resistance head on.
Therapeutic resistance occurs when cancer is initially treated successfully and later has found a way around the treatment regimen. An increased focus on pediatric cancer research addressing therapeutic resistance will hopefully lead to increased survival rates for children with cancer. Currently, the five-year survival rate for children (0 to 14) has increased to 84.7% and to 85.9 percent for adolescents (15-19).
Epic Feast and Auction
The pinnacle event of the Sonoma Epicurean series that include an epic feast and spirited auction, with the opportunity to raise a paddle for critical funding that will benefit V Foundation researchers as we work together to achieve Victory Over Cancer®.
