shining a light: where science meets creativity

the breakthrough ball

The Breakthrough Board is a purpose-driven board with over 70 years of dedication to raising funds in support of breakthroughs in cancer research at UChicago Medicine. Formerly the University of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation Women’s Board, the 75-year-old board reinvented itself in 2021 with a new name and joined forces with The Cancer Research Foundation, a like-minded fundraising organization also dedicated to fueling the next big breakthroughs in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

This year’s theme for the 2022 Breakthrough Ball at the Four Seasons Hotel was “Shining A Light Where Science Meets Creativity”, showcasing the unique intersection between science and creativity that UChicago Medicine cancer researchers demonstrate in their life changing work. The gala successfully raised raised nearly $1.5 million for the cause.
