PHASE ONE is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting ground-breaking Phase I and Phase II clinical cancer research, innovative education and treatment programs, and funding forward-thinking leaders in the scientific and medical community.
They will be hosting a special Art vs Cancer fundraiser on Wednesday, November 13th from 7-10PM at “Various Small Fires.”
Supporting and discovering young emerging artists, Diane has coupled her trendsetting skills in spotting new talent while also helping raise awareness and funds for Cancer research for ART VS CANCER.
Diane makes it her mission to visit artists in their studios and to listen to their personal stories that they each have to share on the topic of cancer. This process resulted in 140 different artists participating in the auction this year, raising over 70’000 USD in funds for the Phase One Foundation for Clinical Cancer Research. Diane is already gearing up for the 3rd edition of ART VS CANCER next year.
As the Executive Vice Chair of PHASE ONE’s Board of Directors, Diane has helped raise over 20 million dollars for the organization dedicated to funding first round of clinical cancer trials and has enlisted a network of over 3,000 donors to date.
