On October 29th, 2025 The Chemotherapy+ Foundation proudly hosted a sold-out 2025 Innovation Gala at Guastavino’s in NYC marking 57 years of advancing cancer research through innovation and community. An unforgettable evening of hope, innovation, and impact!

This year’s gala held deep meaning. Our beloved Executive Director, Paola G. Muggia, shared how her personal journey through cancer has deepened her commitment to TCF’s mission: “Many of the treatments I’m receiving were first presented at our early symposiums and funded through our grant-making program.” Her words reminded us why we do this work.

We were honored to present André Goy with the Ezra Greenspan Award for his groundbreaking work in aggressive lymphomas and introducing transformative therapies like genomic liquid biopsies and CAR T cell therapy, William Dahut with the Public Health & Service Award for his leadership at the American Cancer Society and his dedication to equitable, lifesaving cancer research, and Norbert Butz, Two-Time Tony Award Winner, with the Inspire NYC Award, who movingly accepted the honor in memory of his brother Tom, a leiomyosarcoma patient whose strength continues to inspire Norbert’s art and advocacy.

We are immensely grateful to our in-kind sponsors including PIM Brands, Stifel Richter Wealth Management Group, Equinox, Bloom, Kendra Scott, Fragrance.com, Laura Geller Beauty, and Epic for their generous support.

To our attendees, speakers, and donors who made the evening so impactful, thank you for believing in our mission. Thank you for fueling progress.

Together, we are turning innovation into action and cancer patients into survivors. See you next year!
