"The 27th Annual Angel Ball, benefiting Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research, convened a coalition of benefactors, scientists, cultural leaders, and survivors to confront an ongoing crisis: cancer continues to dismantle lives at a pace that feels like negligence. The Foundation was created by Denise Rich after losing her daughter, Gabrielle, to acute myelogenous leukemia at 27. Rather than accepting grief as a closed narrative, she redirected it."
"More than $45 million has been deployed to propel the science forward. That is not charity; that is pressure applied at the exact point where progress too often stalls. Cancer is frequently understood through statistics until it becomes personal. When my father's oncologist announced that he would not survive the year, his statement was delivered as though it were a calendar note instead of a death sentence. He died before science could offer him a fighting chance."
Cipriani Wall Street hosted the 27th Annual Angel Ball benefiting Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research. The event convened benefactors, scientists, cultural leaders, and survivors to focus on blood cancers. Denise Rich established the Foundation after her daughter Gabrielle died of acute myelogenous leukemia at 27. The Foundation has deployed more than $45 million to fund blood cancer research and accelerate scientific progress. Organizers described the funding as targeted pressure at points where research progress stalls rather than as charity. Attendees included entertainers and civic leaders, with performances and speeches emphasizing urgency and the personal toll of cancer.
