ROAR Fundraising Committee and Southeast Cancer Foundation will honor Dr. David Bronner, CEO of the Retirement Systems of Alabama, April 16 at its first James Bond Gala.
Bronner’s accomplishments include Alabama’s Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, a collection of 26 championship golf courses at 11 sites. The trail has helped increase tourism in the state from a $1.8 billion to a $9.6 billion industry.
The gala’s theme is “A View to a Cure.” Included are a silent auction, live auction by Jack Granger, dinner and dancing to the Pat Patrick Orchestra.
Funds raised will go to the advancement of cancer research and education in the area of Personalized Cancer Medicine, a revolutionary cancer treatment breakthrough.
Last year, ROAR raised more than $365,000 for cancer research lab equipment for the department of radiation oncology at the UAB Hazelrig-Salter Radiation Oncology Center.
