The evening promises to be the best ever, both creatively and financially! The EMP is Seattle's most unique architectural wonder. The Frank O. Gehry-designed building houses a new interactive museum that combines performance space, technology and revolutionary architecture in a facility created to celebrate the heritage and anticipate the future of American popular music. Guests will participate in great food and music, tour s of the museum, and a fantastic live and silent auction.
We are thrilled to announce that this year's Quality of Life Award is being presented to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. This award is given to individuals or entities whose mission mirrors that of the IMF to improve the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure.
Former NCI Director Dr. Richard Klausner is our Guest of Honor for the event. The IMF's Ribbon of Hope Award will be presented to the MM Fighters, the myeloma support group in Seattle, WA, who are passionate in their commitment and for their dedication to providing hope support and knowledge to their myeloma community. The IMF Courage Award will be presented posthumously to Seattle restauranteur John Schwartz.
The IMF is also thrilled to be welcoming this year's Co-Dinner Chairs, Teresa and Glen Perez, of Gig Harbor, WA.
