Annual Block Party
Save the Date: Saturday, July 13, 2024
Concern Foundation for Cancer Research successfully produced its 48th Annual Block Party on the backlot of Paramount Studios in Hollywood on Saturday, July 8 featuring multiple stages of live entertainment, casino-style games, live and silent auctions, and food, desserts, and beverages from over 70 of Los Angeles’ best restaurants and caterers. Themed this year as “THE LAND BEFORE TIME: THE EXTINCTION OF CANCER,” we celebrated by honoring the Kallick Family with the Lifetime of Giving Award and saluting Cedars Sinai Cancer for their groundbreaking work focused on conquering cancer. The sold-out event hosted over 3,500 guests, successfully raising $2.1 million for cancer research through sponsorship, ticket sales, donations, and bids on auction items.

A simple idea back in the early 1970’s, Concern pioneered the “block party” fundraiser concept which has become a reality where thousands gather each year for an evening filled with good food, friends, and entertainment. It takes a tremendous team comprised of three generations of volunteers all working together to produce Concern’s signature Block Party.
