The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation's Spring Theater Benefit was held on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, and featured a performance of the new musical Hell’s Kitchen, an urban coming-of-age story inspired by the life and music of its creator, 16-time Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Alicia Keys.
Guests had the opportunity to meet several Damon Runyon scientists at our pre-theater dinner at The Lambs Club and heard firsthand how their support can help achieve breakthroughs in how we diagnose, treat, and prevent all forms of cancer.

One of New York City’s most unique events, the Runyon 5K is a charitable run/walk that uses Yankee Stadium as its course. 100% of donations raised by participants directly support innovative young scientists funded by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.
Unfortunately, the Runyon 5K will not take place in 2024. Thank you to all our loyal participants, volunteers, and donors for supporting brave and bold scientists who continue to make breakthroughs in every area of cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
We hope to bring the Runyon 5K back in 2025. To learn more about corporate sponsorship opportunities, please contact Kim Kubert, Senior Director of Special Events, at kim.kubert@damonrunyon.org.
On Saturday, February 10, 2024, an intrepid team of biotech industry professionals led by journalist and mountaineer Luke Timmerman embarked upon the trip of a lifetime — a hike to the summit of Mt.

In advance of the expedition, the Timmerman Traverse team raised more than $1 million (and counting) to support Damon Runyon’s brave and bold cancer researchers.
