35th Annual Lombardi Gala

Saturday, April 29, 2023

About the Lombardi Gala

Since 1986, the Lombardi Gala has provided direct funding to Georgetown Lombardi as it seeks to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer through cutting-edge basic, translational and clinical research, patient care, and community outreach throughout the Washington region.

The Lombardi Gala is an annual event dedicated to raising funds for cancer research for Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. This event features a cocktail reception, silent auction, awards presentation, and much more. Proceeds from the Gala directly fund world-class research leading to clinical trials and innovative new treatments that change the lives of people with cancer.

Under the Leadership of our 35th Annual Lombardi Gala Chairs, Kevin and Mary Reilly, we raised over $1.2 million dollars in support of Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Thank you!

Thank you for celebrating with us at The Anthem as we celebrated our 35th Annual Lombardi Gala on April 29, 2023 to benefit Georgetown University’s  Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. It was a fun evening of cocktails, dinner, an auction, awards and dancing!
