Become a Holly Ball Sponsor
Please join us in Seeding the Cure for cancer by sponsoring our 52st Annual Holly Ball.
We are hosting our annual Holly Ball black tie gala, an evening dedicated to raising funds to support groundbreaking research in cancer treatment, on Friday, December 5th at the Claremont Country Club. Your support in underwriting Holly Ball, enables us to give 100% of the event net proceeds directly to research projects and service organizations.
Cancer does not discriminate – it affects our families, our friends and our communities. Together we can be the difference. Last year, we raised over $450,000 to support early phase research projects at UCSF and Stanford. These are the very projects that often lack funding but hold the greatest potential to seed the cure.
As a sponsor, you will be included in a Sponsor Recognition party in November, and all the opportunities outlined below. Details can also be found on our website (LINK). Formal invitations and information about General Admission tickets will be sent out in October.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to stand with us in the fight against cancer. Your sponsorship plants the seed and together, we will grow the cure.
With gratitude,
