A Letter From the Founder & Chairman Welcome to the Expect Miracles East Coast Classic. We are thrilled to be supported by such a dynamic group of leaders in the financial services industry. In its 21st year, this tournament is a testament to your continued drive to make a lasting impact on cancer research and patient care. In life’s chaotic momentum, it’s easy to forget how lucky we are. We keep the most pressing part of our days in the forefront of our minds: catching that plane, meeting with a client, revising that presentation. But what if the biggest part of your day was sitting through another painful round of drug therapy, or waiting on the results of a biopsy that could define the length of your life? Thanks to your support of Expect Miracles Foundation, the Robert and Renée Belfer Center for Applied Cancer Science at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has made great advances in its mission to hasten the time it takes to bring new therapies to cancer patients. Your generosity has helped facilitate the recent development of a new FDA-approved therapy for a rare type of lung cancer. Another drug is in Phase 3 trials. Your commitment to our mission has also helped develop a non-invasive liquid biopsy for diagnosis and assessment of drug efficacy in breast cancer patients. And this year, thanks to your growing support and enthusiasm, Expect Miracles Foundation is also supporting the Center for Experimental Therapeutics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. You are saving lives and bringing people comfort and hope. Twenty-one years later it is extremely evident that what we are doing is working. The discoveries being made in the field of cancer research are the most exciting in the history of the disease—we are getting closer to the cure. We need to continue to rally the industry, raise funds, and promote awareness, so that the results of a biopsy define a treatment—not a life. We are incredibly grateful for your loyal support. On behalf of our Board of Directors and staff, I thank YOU! YOU are the cure.

These funds will be put towards essentials such as mortgage, rent, or utility payments. The grant will also provide 10 gas and grocery cards to families in need.
