Cancer Cure 2017: How To Help Research Facilities and Institutes
Women in the Boston area can help raise funds in finding the cure by getting in a boxing ring and facing the challenge. The charity boxing event will be held at the House of the Blues.
Doors will begin accepting spectators and competitors alike by 6:30 p.m on Oct. 5. 32 women will be going in the ring for the event dubbed "Belles of the Brawl V," which is organized by Haymakers for Hope. The nonprofit organization has raised several millions of dollars through their events.
Considering the ever-growing list of causes of cancer, the healthcare community is working hard to find a cure for the deadly disease. Researchers work day and night to test out different drugs and controlled environments. People who might not be medically inclined make the effort of keeping themselves up to date in case a cure is found.
Those who would like to participate or view the event will have to pay for general admission tickets at $85. Meanwhile, stadium seating will be priced at $135, and VIP tickets will begin selling at $150. Fighters will be competing through three rounds, held within two minutes each. All funds will go to cancer research facilities and institutes.
Meanwhile, Forbes reports that another way for wealthier people to contribute is to invest in cancer research facilities, such as Incyte, Kite, Puma, and Clovis Oncology (CLVS). The last center in the list is currently developing a promising technology and remedy that may one day cure prostate and ovarian cancer.
Although it might take a while for researchers to finally make a breakthrough, waiting individuals and families can help make the job easier by finding events that specifically direct the funds to where it needs to be.
