The American Cancer Society raised over $865,000 at the “One More Time, Dancing for a Cause” 2017 Annual Miami Gala presented by The Miami Cancer Institute/Baptist Health South Florida. The Annual Gala took place at the beautiful JW Marriott Marquis.

From its beginning, the American Cancer Society has been the leading force in the fight against cancer. After over 100 years, they can envision the end of cancer as we know it – from deadly to treatable, from curable to preventable. One hundred years ago, we began the fight of a lifetime. Now it’s time to finish it!
