Events
Gatherings that fund specific projects.
Every event has its own signature
The Institute's benefit events almost always start with one person: a physician, a survivor, a donor who decides to organise something. The Institute provides the framework and handles the gifts.
Each carries its own theme and its own funded research project, which keeps the link between the evening and the laboratory legible for those taking part.
