Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation Celebrates 20th Hamptons Happening Launch & Step Up To Turn Cancer Off

The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation hosted a special cocktail party at Versa in New York City to kick off two vital SWCRF fundraising events: the 20th Annual Hamptons Happening and the Step Up To Turn Off Cancer endurance event.

Events like these have allowed SWCRF to invest more than $120 million towards collaborative cancer research programs, supporting hundreds of investigators worldwide. SWCRF-funded scientists have made many breakthrough discoveries in the fight against cancer.

Notable attendees included SWCRF CEO and founder Dr. Samuel Waxman, Arthur F. Backal, Cheri Kaufman, Stephen Kliegerman, Marion Waxman, Randi Schatz, Mark D. Friedman, Jamie Koff, Kenneth and Maria Fishel, Dina Lohan, Chris Arlotta, Elena Gibbs, Nicole Noonan, and Steven Knobel.

This year’s Hamptons Happenings will be held on Saturday, July 6, at the Bridgehampton Estate of Kenneth and Maria Fishel. Attendees will enjoy a night of delicious tastings from dozens of chefs, restaurants, and beverage companies, all while raising critical funds for cancer research.

The Step Up To Turn Cancer Off is a week-long campaign encouraging participants to increase their daily physical activity while raising funds for crucial cancer research initiatives. New this year will be a live, three-mile run/walk at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, June 22. Step Up Ambassadors: NFL Hall of Famers Harry Carson (NY Giants) and Joe Klecko (NY Jets), along with Ottis Anderson (NY Giants), will lead the event and inspire participants to get more active and help fight cancer. Step Up To Turn Cancer Off runs from June 17 to 23. Learn more and register at waxmancancer.org/events/stepup.
