Join the Abramson Cancer Center for a family-friendly premier arena football game as the Philadelphia Soul takes on the New Orleans Voo Doo on Saturday June 8th at the Wells Fargo Center, and help us raise awareness of the effects of cancer in our community.
All proceeds will benefit the Young Friends of the Abramson Cancer Center, which supports the work of young investigators and clinical fellows, whose brilliant ideas often go unrealized because of a lack in funding. This support is vital to launching the careers of tomorrow's medical leaders who will ensure that our mission to eradicate cancer will be accomplished.
