The 2023 inaugural Kaleidoscope Ball was created to shine a light on the importance of preventive screenings. "Cancer screening aims to identify a cancer before symptoms appear thus allowing the maximum chance for total eradication of the disease," said Amit Bansal, MD, of Reid Oncology Associates. "It is critical we continue to spread the word about their importance in saving lives." Proceeds from the event from the generosity of donors and those in attendance will help to make a sizable contribution toward cancer care and prevention.
