East Cobb resident Dean Crowe, the executive director and founder of The Rally Foundation, was recently named one of the Top 100 Women in Oncology by OncoDaily.
Also, this year marks the 90th anniversary of the Harvard Business School Club of Atlanta. In celebration of this event, the Club will be holding a 90th Anniversary Gala this Thursday, Sept. 19, at the Cherokee Town Club, where 100% of the net proceeds from the Gala will fund Social Enterprise Initiative (SEI) scholarships to benefit Georgia nonprofit leaders.
At the event, they will be awarding the Club’s inaugural Social Impact Award. This award will go to a Georgia based social entrepreneur who has made a difference in the life of others and whose organization has had a significant community impact.
This year, the award will be going to Dean Crowe, Founder and CEO of Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research. As a direct result of her participation in the Harvard program, Rally became involved in advocacy work promoting childhood cancer research.
To date, that advocacy work has secured $223 million in new federal funding for research into cancers that specifically affect children, adolescents, and young adults. Dean’s experience exemplifies the impact that the Club’s scholarship program has had on our community, at both a local and national level. It also exemplifies why many scholarship recipients tell us that the program “changed my life.”
She will also be taking part in CureFest, where Rally is a platinum sponsor, on Saturday, Sept. 21. Rally has been taking part for the past for 9 years. This is also part of Rally to the Capitol, a family-friendly rally to the US Capitol to come together as one voice for children with cancer at 2 p.m. on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Several Rally families from Georgia will be there as well.
