“Dana-Farber’s commitment to cancer care and research is very near and dear to our hearts,” said Bill Rancic, who with his wife Giuliana, hosted this year’s UnMask Cancer presented by The Herb Chambers Companies. Giuliana, a breast cancer survivor, and Bill spent the evening with fellow UnMask Cancer attendees and Dana-Farber supporters at the Mandarin Oriental, Boston.

More than 400 guests attended the annual fundraiser made possible by Jessica and Sam Slater on October 22 to support patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Guests enjoyed an evening filled with enchanting live art entertainment, exquisite cocktails, and delicious food, along with exciting live, silent, and cause auctions, which included a brand new Vespa generously provided by The Herb Chambers Companies. In total nearly $270,000 was raised to honor the tireless efforts of Dana-Farber doctors and researchers who work relentlessly to unmask the secrets of cancer.
