At its heart, the Tower Cancer Research Foundation Gala is about one thing: the stars.
All year long, we raise critical funds to support a remarkable group of scientists working at the forefront of cancer research. Then, one night each year, we gather to celebrate them—the brilliant minds behind the breakthroughs.
Tower is rigorous in our pursuit of ideas and innovation that offer real promise. The proposals we fund reflect extraordinary ingenuity, insight, and potential. Our grantees are gifted, passionate, pioneering thinkers. Curious about their work? Just ask. They’ll be there on gala night, eager to share the stories of their life’s mission.
On June 3, join us under the stars—with our stars—at the iconic Skirball Cultural Center for an evening you won’t forget.
We’ll also be honoring three extraordinary members of our board and community who have worked tirelessly to bring hope, healing, and humanity to Angelenos facing cancer.
Our gala is a celebration of two vital forces: discovery and care. Every day, Tower’s board, advisors, and staff mobilize resources across Southern California to better serve patients and families. Some of that support happens at Magnolia House through direct services and programs. Much of it happens in the lab—where researchers test bold ideas to improve outcomes.
And once a year, it all comes together.
If you want to meet the stars shaping the future of cancer care—and help fuel their life-saving work—join us on June 3 at the Skirball for a night that inspires.
