Each year, 24-40 players golf from dawn til dusk - sometimes as many as 100 holes, each raising money to fund a repurposing clinical trial. In support of this amazing effort, we secure a private course, and provide our players with refreshments, carts, prizes, and encouragement.  

This year, we're supporting Dr. Paul Swiecicki's project: 
Repurposing Old Drugs as New Therapies for Metastatic Thyroid Cancer.


Interested in playing? Let us know!

Community Service Award

Laura Kleiman, PhD, has no trouble seeking her professional passion. She pursues it everywhere – at work, at home, even in the car.

Laura is focused on one goal: making
effective cancer treatment available to as many people as possible. By day she is scientific research director of
Dana-Farber’s cBio Center, working with researchers and oncologists mining genomic patient data for molecular clues that might thwart cancer’s resistance to existing therapies. On nights and weekends, she puts on her volunteer lab coat as founder and executive director of 

Cures Within Reach for Cancer.
