DISTINGUISHED EVENTS

LRF New York Golf Invitational

LRF donors and supporters hit the links at Quaker Ridge Golf Club in Scarsdale, New York, on May 23 for LRF’s 10th Annual Golf Invitational. Golfers had the chance to test their skills at this famed course, which has hosted three Met Opens, three Met Amateurs, and three Met PGA Championships. In addition, 2018 Curtis Cup Match was the second USGA championship hosted there. While guests enjoyed the pristine course, they raised over $335,000 for LRF’s mission. This annual event is chaired by longtime LRF supporters Steve Prince, who is also a member of the LRF Board of Directors, and Jim Stern.

LRF Swirl: Chicago

Over 200 guests gathered in Chicago on June 2, for LRF’s Swirl: Chicago Wine Tasting Event, where they raised more than $90,000. Guests tasted a curated selection of Italian wines from Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, a key partner and wine sponsor of the Swirl series. Attendees also sampled delicious bites as they bid on fabulous prizes offered in the silent auction, all in support of the LRF mission to eradicate lymphoma.

LRF Annual Gala

LRF was thrilled to return to New York City for its 2022 LRF Annual Gala. The Gala is a special evening celebrating advancements made in lymphoma research and patient care as well as the visionaries, researchers, and advocates who make them possible. The 2022 Gala honored Steven M. Horwitz, MD, with the Distinguished Leadership Award, and Pfizer with the Corporate Leadership Award. Chaired by Madhvi and Ramesh Subrahmanian, this year’s program brought together key leaders from the lymphoma community, including esteemed members of LRF’s Scientific Advisory Board and Board of Directors, representatives from oncology industry partners, healthcare providers, patients, caregivers, and highimpact supporters from throughout the country. Attendees gathered to celebrate all we accomplished together over the past year and to ensure that LRF may continue to pursue its vital mission. A special message from Academy Award®–winning actor and lymphoma survivor Jeff Bridges provided an especially poignant moment during the first in-person gala the Foundation was able to hold since the beginning of the pandemic.
