This year’s Hutch Holiday Gala in Seattle, organized by the Bellevue-based Grace Hefferman Arnold Guild, brought in a total $8.8 million in donations. The money raised at the Hutch Holiday Gala will be directed toward the Hutchinson Center’s work to harness the human immune system to battle cancer.

    This is an awesome accomplishment towards funding cancer research. I read an interesting article where they indicated scientists were able to crack the cancer code by idenitfying 33,000 dna level mutations which causes cancer. We are making great strides in not only identifying Testicular Cancer Symptoms but now we are also able to have generous people fund the research as well..

    Wonderful!
