Family’s March Hoops Fundraiser Scores Points for Kellogg Eye Center
March Hoops to BEAT Blindness has a purpose beyond basketball. Organized by Myron Hepner, the event represents another chance to thank the medical teams that saved his infant son’s life after discovering a rare eye cancer and to raise money for vision research. The 2017 beneficiary is Cagri Besirli, MD, PhD. The money will support his study on a drug developed to treat glioma — a form of brain cancer — and its potential effect on retinoblastoma patients.
