The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute’s 30th Annual Dinner held last weekend raised nearly $1.7 million to benefit Karmanos’ cancer care, making this the most successful Annual Dinner in Karmanos’ history. Proceeds will support a new Intensive Care Unit at the Karmanos Cancer Center, scheduled to open by Oct. 1, 2012. Through the commitment of 1,000 staff, including nearly 300 physicians and researchers on faculty at the Wayne State University School of Medicine, and supported by thousands of volunteer and financial donors, Karmanos strives to prevent, detect and eradicate all forms of cancer. Its long-term partnership with the WSU School of Medicine enhances the collaboration of critical research and academics related to cancer care.
