Breast cancer awareness: Leading surgeon on what women need to know

October is breast cancer awareness month. Dubin Breast Center Director Dr. Elisa Port says a lot of progress has been made but there’s still a ‘long way to go.’ 

The 22nd annual Prostate Cancer Foundation Gala raised millions toward cancer research this summer. 

Total sponsorships and ticket sales were valued at $1.3 million and the live auction raised more than $6.5 million for the foundation’s work.

The auction lots included a four-day Home Run Challenge MLB package, two VIP access packages to the 2023 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas and a 2023 Fisker Ocean 1 SUV.

The Aug. 27 event, which was held at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, New York, also supported the Annual PCF Pro-AM Tennis Tournament.
