Last night, June 16, 2010, the Cancer Research Institute honored top American fashion designer Michael Kors with the Oliver R. Grace Award for Distinguished Service in Advancing Cancer Research. Three-time Academy Award nominee Joan Allen presented the Grace Award to Mr. Kors at a black-tie dinner held at The Mandarin Oriental in New York City. The award honored Mr. Kors' committment to raising awareness and funds for cancer research causes. Other honorees included GlaxoSmithKline chief executive officer Andrew Witty, and tumor immunologists Haruo Ohtani, Wolf Hervé Fridman, and Jérôme Galon. The dinner raised $721,000 for the Cancer Research Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing immune system based treatments for cancer.
