OUR PANELISTS
ABOUT ICRF
We harness the knowledge, educational resources, and research of Israels’ best and brightest scientists in order to save the lives of cancer patients in Toronto, North America and throughout the world.
ICRF has funded scientists who went on to discover incredible medical breakthroughs. Two of our very own ICRF-funded scientists (Professors Avram Hershko and Aaron Ciechanover of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) were nominated for and received the 2004 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
To date, ICRF has contributed more than USD $100,000,000 for over 3,000 grants involving all major hospitals, universities and cancer research projects throughout Israel.
ICRF COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Our Community Sponsors are year-round partners whose annual support fuels ICRF’s mission beyond a single event. Their ongoing contributions help fund critical cancer research while supporting programs, events, and awareness initiatives that strengthen our community and expand ICRF’s impact. In recognition of their commitment, sponsors receive meaningful benefits and opportunities to engage with ICRF throughout the year.
