Mesothelioma Research Foundation of America MesoRFA.org — Speaking Executive Director Elizabeth Ann Paul and Board Member Jerry Paul thanking all of the event planners, participants and supporters for making the event a success year after year. We cannot thank you all enough!

Everyone at the Mesothelioma Research Foundation of America would like to congratulate the Southern California Pipetrades District Council 16 for organizing an amazing event! We saw a huge turnout for the 16th Annual Golf Invitational, with a full field of 144 golfers and supporters, coming together for this great cause. Together we generated over $100,000 for mesothelioma research! As always, 100 % of the donations received will go directly toward research into clinical trials and treatment options for mesothelioma. Year after year, the organizers at District Council 16 have done an amazing job planning and promoting this event year and we cannot thank them enough for the years of support and dedication. THANK YOU!

Participating in the event on behalf of the Foundation was Executive Director Elizabeth Ann Paul, Board Member Jerry Neil Paul, Chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee, Dr. Parkash Gill, and Assistant Executive Director, Shane Rucker. After a great day of golf, Jerry and Elizabeth Paul spoke together, thanking everyone for supporting the event year after year, and highlighting the developments made at USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Parkash Gill, Chairman of the Foundation’s Medical Advisory Committee then highlighted the use of immunotherapy treatment PD-1 antibody in combination with EphB-4 and the successes shown in the laboratory. Dr. Gill added that there has been several recent research publications in collaboration with doctors affiliated with UC Davis and University of Chicago regarding EphB-4!
