On November 21, 2024, Ohio Cancer Research proudly celebrated a spectacular evening at the Hilton Columbus at Easton! Guests enjoyed incredible food stations, cocktails, live music, and high-energy entertainment, all in support of groundbreaking cancer research.
We were honored to recognize Alison Marker, President + CEO of Marker, Inc., whose visionary leadership and dedication have left an indelible mark on our community and beyond. We were also proud to present the prestigious Sanford Goldston Memorial Research Award to Dr. Xue-Feng Bai of The Ohio State University, whose early OCR funding has generated over $5.6 million in further research advancements, driving innovation in the fight against cancer.
Together, we raised over $100,000 for cancer research! Your contributions fuel groundbreaking cancer research and bring us closer to a future without this devastating disease. Collectively, we are driving innovation, spreading hope, and making an extraordinary difference.
