The annual “Waxman” was again a major success in the fight against cancer.

Now in its eighteenth year, The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation (SWCRF) hosted its ‘Collaborating for a Cure’ Benefit Dinner and Auction, and honored fashion designer John Varvatos, and featured a special musical performance by legendary John Fogerty.

Hosted again by Michael and Elin Nierenberg, the event raised $2.5 million to support the Waxman Foundation’s research efforts to produce a cure for cancer.
