WASHINGTON, DC–The Cushman & Wakefield 20th Annual Race for Hope DC, held on Sunday, May 7, to benefit National Brain Tumor Society and Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure raised over $1.7 million. Nearly 10,000 runners, walkers, survivors and volunteers participated in this year's event, which is the country's largest fundraiser for the brain tumor community.
Cushman & Wakefield began participating in Race for Hope DC 17 years ago when one of the legacy firms' co-founder, Pat Cassidy, fell ill with a brain tumor, according to Roberta Liss, president of the US East Region. “While we lost Pat in 2001, our support of this cause has been unwavering ever since,” she said in a prepared statement. “On the 20th Anniversary, we are honored to serve as the presenting sponsor of the largest fundraiser for brain tumor research in the country.”
