SUMMARY:Philly Fights Cancer: Round 4
DESCRIPTION:Philly Fights Cancer: Round 4 will once again pack a punch
  on Saturday, November 10th at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. This year
 ’s event will feature a performance by comedy icon Jerry Seinfeld, 
 followed by a concert from internationally acclaimed Grammy-winning po
 p superstars Maroon 5. The signature fundraising event of Philly Figh
 ts Cancer stands out as one of the highlights of the Philadelphia soc
 ial season. This star-studded evening, which welcomes guests of all a
 ges, honors the doctors and physicians working to eradicate cancer by 
 showcasing the stories of survivors whose lives have been saved as a r
 esult of the groundbreaking medical advances of the Abramson Cancer Ce
 nter.\n \nThis year’s honorary physician will be Penn Medicine’s 
 Abramson Cancer Center researcher Dr. Carl June, the Richard W. Vague

 ear, the FDA approved Kymriah™ (formerly CTL019) for pediatric leuke
 mia, and Dr. Carl June and colleagues at Penn continue to lead the imm
 unorevolution to expand this life-saving therapy to other cancers. The
  treatment has been deemed a “miracle drug,” and its approval was 
 referred to by the FDA as “historic action.” The New York Times ca
 lled it “a milestone that is expected to transform treatment.\"\n \
 nThis year’s honorary chair will be Sean Parker, Founder and Chairm
