Los Angeles magazine and Concern Foundation present 48th Annual Block Party Fundraiser “Land Before Time – The Extinction of Cancer”, July 8 at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, CA. The evening will honor The Kallick Family with the Lifetime of Giving Award and a special salute to Cedars Sinai Cancer.
Cancer is still the enemy and the challenges of continuing to raise funds to support cancer research are more pressing than ever.
Concern Foundation for Cancer Research is currently supporting over 35 cancer researchers who are investigating new approaches in all types of cancer. This independent volunteer driven non-profit organization has raised and granted over $72 million to cancer research projects across our community, country and worldwide since inception in 1968.
