Annual Gala

The Prevent Cancer Foundation Annual Gala is recognized as one of Washington’s premier events, attracting more than 1,000 guests from business, diplomatic, government, medical, philanthropic, sports and social communities. The Gala consistently ranks among top Washington charity events and is a widely attended event. It follows all gifts and ethics guidelines of the Senate and House.

Thank you to everyone who attended Prevent Cancer’s Annual Gala at the National Building Museum on September 18, 2025.
