The Fifth District AHEPA Cancer Research Foundation will present its 2026 cancer research grants at its 38th Annual Evening of Celebration on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Pines Manor in Edison, New Jersey.
The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. at 2085 Lincoln Highway and will feature dinner, dancing, and live music. Black-tie attire is optional, and a cash bar will be available. Admission is $150 per person, according to the event flyer.
