ACS Heroes of the Year Luncheon

Celebrate the Heroes of the Year luncheon to honor two remarkable heroes: Candace Bushnell & Geralyn Lucas on Tuesday, October 17, 2023 at 583 Park Avenue. For more than 25 years, the event has convened New York’s philanthropic leaders, who are invested in their community’s health and the future of scientific breakthroughs and cancer research. Since its inception, the Luncheon has supported the American Cancer Society’s mission to end cancer as we know it, for everyone – and has raised more than $5.6 million for ACS’s patient programs and research.
