Each year the AACR hosts their world-renowned Annual Meeting, with upwards of 20,000 scientists, advocates, and healthcare professionals, who come together to learn about the latest breakthroughs in cancer science and what is happening on the frontlines to fight cancer.
This year’s Annual Meeting is in Washington, D.C. from April 1 - 5, and the AACR Foundation will be hosting its second annual 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, April 1. It is a wonderful opportunity to bring our researchers together with the Washington, D.C. community to raise funds and awareness for cancer research.
