We are going virtual! To celebrate its 15th year, LCRF is expanding the traditional Luncheon and hosting an Anniversary Celebration. In addition, the event will be directly followed by LCRF’s first-ever Scientific Symposium featuring top researchers in the field including LCRF grantees.

Together, we are changing what it means to face a diagnosis of lung cancer. We invite you to join us to celebrate those advances, but not settle for them! We invite you to join us to celebrate a brighter tomorrow and a world without lung cancer.

The event will take place virtually in order to safely accommodate as many supporters as possible. For more information, contact Megan McGuinness, Senior Coordinator of Special Events, at mmcguinness@LCRF.org or (212) 493-4038.
