30th Anniversary Dinner Highlights

The Skin Cancer Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Celebration at Castignola’s Restaurant during the American Academy of Dermatology meeting in San Francisco was a very special for evening for the Foundation and its guests.

It began with the Foundation’s annual Research Grants Awards Ceremony hosted by Chairman of the Research Grants Committee, Jean-Claude Bystryn.  After the awards, the research grant recipients and friends of the Foundation stayed to mingle and catch up with one another after a day at the AAD meeting.  After cocktails, guests moved upstairs to a private dining room overlooking the water for the Amonette Circle Induction Ceremony and a Roast & Toast of the Foundation’s Founder and President, Perry Robins, MD.

Research Grants Award Ceremony

Recognizing the importance of basic research and clinical studies in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin cancer, The Skin Cancer Foundation awards annual grants for pilot studies relating to skin cancer.  Proposals are evaluated by members of the Foundation’s Grants Review Committee which includes Chairman Jean-Claude Bystryn,  Leonard Goldberg, MD,  Bijan Safai, MD;  David Leffell MD and  Jeffrey Dover MD.  All projects are selected on the basis of their applicability to the Foundation’s mission of combating the epidemic of skin cancer. Since 1981, the Foundation has awarded almost one million dollars to fund 100 projects.
