The 24th annual Christiana Care Golf & Tennis Classic presented by Cerner on May 21 at the DuPont Country Club drew more than 150 golfers and helped raise more than $136,000 for the Center for Translational Cancer Research at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute.

The Center for Translational Cancer Research at the Graham Cancer Center moves research from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside by applying basic science toward potential therapies. It’s where scientists study the molecular causes of cancer, tissue engineering and gene editing, all targeted to better treatment for patients. Groundbreaking findings and current studies at the center are helping to prevent, better detect and stop the growth of many cancers — and as a result reducing cancer incidence and mortality rates in Delaware.
