REBELS WITH A CAUSE GALA TO BENEFIT NEW LAWRENCE J. ELLISON INSTITUTE FOR TRANSFORMATIVE MEDICINE OF USC

 

WHAT:









WHY:
Visionaries and revolutionaries in medicine, philanthropy, tech, education, art and entertainment will gather at the fourth bi-annual Rebels With A Cause gala to celebrate an intimate evening in support of the lifesaving research lead by Dr. David B. Agus, MD, Founding Director and CEO of the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine of USC (“Ellison Institute”).

Taking place at the Institute’s new building in West Los Angeles, set to open this fall, the gala will be co-chaired by Lynne and Marc Benioff, Founder, Chairman and co-CEO of Salesforce. Tony Award winner James Corden, host of The Late Late Show, will emcee, while sixteen-time Grammy Award-Winner David Foster returns as the gala’s Musical Director and acclaimed director and producer Don Mischer is set to produce.  

The Ellison Institute’s cause is cancer. The Rebels are Dr. Agus and his team of researchers and supporters who believe it is time we think differently about how to treat and prevent this horrible disease. The Ellison Institute applies a cross-disciplinary approach that enables researchers to reimagine cancer treatment and transform lives by leveraging technology, sparking innovation, and advancing interdisciplinary research. Principles from physics, biology, math, and engineering are integrated into new ways of managing and treating this disease.

Those who attend the gala and support the Ellison Institute will dramatically advance its research at this critical time, allowing the most effective treatments to benefit patients who are in urgent need of new therapies.

Lynne Benioff (Co-Chair), Marc Benioff (Co-Chair), James Corden (Host), David Foster (Musical Director), David Blaine (Performance), Dr. David B. Agus (Founding Director/CEO, Ellison Institute) and other notable attendees to be announced closer to the event.
