Winship Gala 2012

 

Team Draft will attend Saturday’s Gala, supporting Emory’s efforts to find a cure for cancer!  Winship Gala proceeds will benefit research and development of cancer drug programs providing vital support that will augment research efforts and aid Winship’s mission to find a cure. 

Emory Winship was founded in 1937 with a gift from Coca-Cola Company president Robert Woodruff, who lost his mother to cancer that year. The center opened in 1938 in a sun porch at the end of the east wing of Emory Hospital, with four people on staff. In April 2009, Emory Winship was designated a National Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. NCI designation for Emory Winship gives Georgians improved access to clinical trials and resources available only through designated cancer centers.
