Thanks for a successful Canes 2020!

11/12/2020

We're thrilled to report that Sunday's Third Annual Canes Film Festival & Gala was a success! We're so grateful for everyone who attended our first virtual event, along with our wonderful sponsors, and silent auction bidders and auction-item donors!

Some of our favorite highlights

Interviews with past JOF students reflecting on their time with us and how it impacted their lives and careers,
Fantastic films by our Healthcare Immersion Program and Orthopedic Primary Care students,
Fantastic hosting by Pete Slabaugh, and informative presentations by Kathleen Geier, AJ Benham, and Justin Clark on our key programs and life from an MSK patient's perspective,
A fun silent auction that exceeded our financial goal, and
The dedication and hard work of our Canes volunteer committee and behind-the-scenes production team (Molly Walker, Justin Clark, Tom Wagner, Reiko Akimoto, Annemarie Henning, and Tim Hart), who wove many of the intricacies of this complex production together. Without the coordination of all the moving parts, each one led by its own specialist, Canes 2020 would not have happened.
