The Power of Knowing: How Our Family History Is Shaping the Future of Cancer Care

Join us for an elegant summer evening in the Hamptons as we gather to celebrate the start of the U.S. Open and the season ahead with a luxury fundraiser benefiting groundbreaking cancer research. Guests will enjoy a beautiful night of beverages, curated hors d’oeuvres, and live entertainment inspired by the vibrant sounds of the Gipsy Kings, creating the perfect atmosphere for connection, philanthropy, and celebration. The evening will also feature a thoughtfully curated silent auction and special moments throughout the night.

At the heart of the evening is an important conversation: “The Power of Knowing: How Our Family History is Shaping the Future of Cancer Care”

In partnership with Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center, Dr. Kara Maxwell, and Living LFS, this gathering will explore how understanding our family’s health history can transform the future of cancer detection, prevention, and treatment. Together, we will discuss how inherited cancer risk affects families and how advances in genetics are changing the way medicine approaches care.

While this event raises funds to support research for families living with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), the insights gained from this high-risk community are helping shape better screening and treatment for people everywhere. What we discover here doesn’t stay here - it moves medicine forward for everyone.

Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of music, conversation, and impact as we kick off the U.S. Open week and summer in the Hamptons in support of a cause that touches so many.
