MIT Sloan MBA Auction & Dinner
December 12, 2012
Solving Kids' Cancer Junior Board member Whitney Scully and the MIT Sloan MBA class of 2014 held an auction to benefit SKC on Wednesday December 11 in Boston. Whitney's MBA student group, called "Indian Ocean" is made up of 65 students at MIT from all over North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Together, they created and obtained 195 unique items for auction. Some of the items up for auction include tutoring, homemade dinners, delicious crepes, a week in a home in Brazil and a weekend apartment in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan.
We are very fortunate that this group chose Solving Kids' Cancer as their charity to raise money for.
These young adults are putting their graduate managerial skills to great use....the cause of childhood cancer!

Third Annual Spring Celebration
May 09, 2012
Thank you to all who took part in our Third Annual Spring Celebration! It was a truly memorable and moving experience. Most importantly, the event moves us closer to changing the world for children with cancer.
As Dr. Crystal Mackall of the National Cancer Institute stated during the program, “the potential for cures is before us. We must embrace the most cutting-edge scientific research for children now.” Thanks to all who attended and donated $300,000 was raised for creating novel treatment options from the forefront of today's cancer research for children with the most difficult pediatric cancers.
The Spring Celebration is our charity’s cornerstone event and brings us ever closer to successfully achieving our mission. We look forward to next year for another magical Spring Celebration. Below are some photos from the evening. Please visit our facebook page to see more.
