Gateway for Cancer Research is set to host the 33rd annual Cures Gala on Saturday, Oct. 26, in Barrington Hills, Illinois. Gateway’s signature fundraising event, the exclusive affair serves to advance Gateway’s mission to accelerate practice-changing discoveries in cancer care by harnessing the unrelenting passion of the research community and empowering patients to triumph over their disease.

In 2023, Cures Gala sponsors and attendees collectively raised $3 million, which is directly funding vital early phase clinical trials that will ultimately pave the way to new cancer treatments and therapies.

The exclusive black-tie event will feature a world-class dining experience and spectacular entertainment and celebrate the doctors’ brilliant cancer-combating ideas which Gateway donors bring to life and the brave patients benefiting from trials providing more time, better quality of life, and the healing power of HOPE.

Gateway has invested more than $114 million to advance 234 cancer clinical trials that have offered hope and healing to more than 35,000 cancer patients and families. With 100% of donations directly supporting phase I and II clinical trials, the upcoming Cures Gala will ensure Gateway continues to invest in research to end cancer as we know it.
