Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center

Women & Wine

What	Third Annual Women & Wine Event presented by the National Cancer Prevention Fund to benefit the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University. The Women & Wine Event is a high profile occasion that affords a prestigious group of women the opportunity to enjoy an evening among their peers, in an upscale dinner setting, while raising significant dollars in support of women's cancers. This event is one of two signature events of the National Cancer Prevention Fund, the other being The Men's Event. As with the Men's Events, the Women & Wine Events are being implemented in conjunction with the Palm Restaurants across the country as both a fundraising vehicle and a community education tool.
Why	To benefit the breast cancer program at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. The primary mission of the National Cancer Prevention Fund is to raise funds to support comprehensive programs of research into cancer prevention and control, and to educate the public to the opportunities of cancer prevention and control through community programs of education, research and behavioral change. The Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center is one of just 39 comprehensive cancer centers in the nation designated by the National Cancer Institute, and the only one in the Washington D.C. area. Lombardi’s world-renowned research faculty are developing and testing the cancer treatments of tomorrow – targeted therapies that will improve both survival and quality of life – and making progress toward the ultimate goal of eradicating cancer.
