Donald and Melania Trump with Trustee Michele Kessler and her husband Howard, 2008 Discovery Ball Chairs

A fundraiser to benefit Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund, the Discovery Ball is one of the premiere events of the Palm Beach season. Chaired by Ellen and Robert Jaffe, the 18th annual Discovery Ball will surely be another outstanding success. Institute Trustee Michele Kessler and her husband, Howard, are honorary chairs while Patrick Park joins us as Vice Chair.

Proceeds help the scientists at Dana-Farber in their ongoing search for more effective cancer treatments and, ultimately, cancer cures. A portion is given to the Pediatric Oncology Support Team at St. Mary's Hospital in West Palm Beach.

We are delighted with the return of Graff as Grand Corporate Benefactor and JPMorgan Private Bank as Grand Corporate Patron of the Ball.
