Phoenix philanthropist honored at gala benefiting Women’s Cancer Research Fund
Event raised over $2 million
Posted
Dr. Stacie J. Stephenson along with Richard J. Stephenson received the 2023 Unsung Hero Award on March 16 at a gala in Beverly Hills, California benefiting the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, a program of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Stacie Stephenson is a Phoenix-based doctor, business owner, philanthropist, public speaker, bestselling author and leader in functional medicine, according to a press release.
This award, presented by Maria Bello and Dominique Crenn, honors them for their commitment to fighting cancer and supporting patient-centered treatment and care.
In accepting the award, Stacie Stephenson said, “We are so honored to be named this year’s Unsung Heroes, and while we may be taking home this beautiful, golden, crystal piece, we are sharing it eternally with each one of you and more.”
The Women’s Cancer Research Fund Gala Chairs Quinn Ezralow and Jamie Tisch, Co-Chairs Kris Levine, NJ Falk, Danielle Lauder, Kelly Chapman Meyer and Steve Tisch welcomed guests to An Unforgettable Evening at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel.
The event raised over $2 million to benefit the Women’s Cancer Research Fund.
This year, actress Sharon Stone also received the 2023 Courage Award, presented by Jamie Tisch, for her support of breast cancer research and dedication to raising awareness for the cause.
“So often things that start with women get overlooked completely, and I am so grateful to stand for something that doesn’t,” Stone said.
During her acceptance speech, Stone asked women in the room who have battled breast cancer, as well as anyone who has had a loved one affected by it, to stand up for a round of applause.
An Unforgettable Evening is WCRF’s flagship fundraising event featuring honorees and tributes to cancer survivors and the memory of those impacted by cancer. For over 20 years, this event has brought together leaders in entertainment, cancer research and corporate philanthropy to raise funds for cancer research conducted at leading medical and academic institutions in California and across the United States.
