Sarasota, FL (May 6, 2023) – The V Foundation for Cancer Research, a top-rated cancer research charity, and ESPN Hall of Fame Sportscaster Dick Vitale, announced at the 18th Annual Dick Vitale Gala that $12.4 million has been raised for pediatric cancer research. The sold-out event was held at the Ritz Carlton in Sarasota, FL on Friday, May 5. Since 2005, the gala has helped raise over $67 million for the V Foundation’s Dick Vitale Pediatric Cancer Research Fund.
“Every year, I am inspired by the generosity of our incredible donors and Dickie V’s All-Courageous Team,” Vitale said. “These amazing kids are cancer survivors or on their cancer journey, and they need our support. Every year at the gala, we come together to celebrate them and move pediatric cancer treatments forward. This record-breaking year is a culmination of incredible work by my team led by Mary Kenealy and Janet Allen and all those who have donated. To me, it is like winning a National Championship!”
