The Waxman has raised millions for cutting-edge cancer research funded by the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation and has treated guests to performances by classic rock stars. The Waxman has welcomed Hollywood stars, supermodels, and fashion designers and the annual live auction led by the incomparable Hugh Hildesley of Sotheby’s is always a highlight of the night.
On November 16, 2017, the Waxman Gala honored the memory of William Gorin, former CEO of MFA Financial, Inc., and commemorated 20 years of raising funds to support the SWCRF’s mission to eradicate cancer.
