Last month, we hosted our 2021 Maximize Life Gala – a worldwide party to bridge the gap in diagnostics and cancer care. Although we couldn’t be together in person, our hearts were still touched by the many friends who gathered online to celebrate.
Thank you to all the guests who tuned in from around the world! In total, participants in 22 countries watched the virtual gala.
Our virtual party kicked off with an around-the-world adventure piloted by our emcee Kevin Joyce. We got to visit each region Max works in and hear how people all over are living with dignity and hope in the face of cancer. And for our Seattle-area guests, we even included a tasting experience with global food and local drinks.
In total, we raised over $167,000 at the Maximize Life Gala this year – all in support of bridging the gap in diagnostics and cancer care!
A huge thanks to all who joined us and gave during the 2021 Maximize Life Gala. And a special thank you to our event sponsors for helping us throw an amazing event!
The Max Foundation is a leading global health nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating health equity. For 28 years, Max has pioneered practical, scalable, high-quality solutions to bring life-extending treatments and patient-centered health care to more than 100,000 people living with cancer and critical illness in low- and middle-income countries. Max believes in a world where all people can access high-impact medicines, where geography is not destiny, and where everyone can strive for health with dignity and with hope.
The Max Foundation’s new headquarters is still buzzing with all the great energy that filled our offices thanks to new and old friends that attended our recent Open House on April 9th. We welcomed our Seattle community to join us on what we called our world tour. Visitors were invited to move from region to region in order to learn about our work in Asia Pacific, Africa, Latin America and, of course, North America.
This Thanksgiving holiday, we are grateful for 20 years of support from our global community.
Thanks to each and every one of you for all you have done to bring dignity and hope to people facing cancer around the world.

Over the past several months, we have been training, fundraising, and preparing to conquer Mt. Kinabalu, and now we’re counting down the days until our team meets at the foot of the mountain for the big climb. Why climb a mountain, you might ask?
