Dear Cancer Center Members and Staff, I invite you to join me on the Chao Cancer Center Director’s Team for the 2026 Anti-Cancer Challenge, taking place on Saturday, October 10 on the UC Irvine campus. This signature event raises critical funds to support cancer research at the UC Irvine Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, including pilot projects and early phase clinical trials that lay the groundwork for lifesaving discoveries. Your participation—whether you ride, run, walk, or fundraise—advances our mission and supports the work we do every day. Please help spread the word and invite friends and family to get involved. Learn more, sign up, or lend your support here. Thank you for your continued dedication to cancer research and care. I hope to see you at the Challenge! Best regards, Richard A.
