David
Tutera, Party Planner to the Stars, Lends His Talents
to Washington Gala
The 22nd annual
gala will raise money for cancer prevention and early
detection
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Prevent Cancer Foundation will host
its 22nd annual
gala to advance the Foundation’s mission of saving lives
across all populations through cancer prevention and early
detection. The gala is widely recognized as one of the most
impactful events of the year, with more than 900 guests
attending from the diplomatic, business, government,
medical, sports, media and social communities.
The gala décor will be personally designed by celebrity
party planner David Tutera, who is a member of the
Foundation’s Board and will be in attendance at this year’s
event. Tutera’s filming of a Prevent
Cancer PSA was
featured in an episode of David Tutera’s CELEBrations on WE
TV last year.
In 2015, the gala raised more than $1.5 million to support
research, education, outreach and advocacy, and was featured
in BizBash as
one of Washington’s Top 100 Events of 2015 (#6 in the
Benefits category).
The evening will also feature the 2016 Cancer Champion
awards, which will be presented to Chairman Fred Upton and
Representative Diana DeGette. The late Congressman Mike
Oxley, who passed away from lung cancer earlier this year,
will be honored during the Lighting the Way ceremony.
