Partners 2021
All funds raised through sponsorships, donations and the auction will support the work of a multidisciplinary team of applied, clinical and basic scientists who are focused on addressing racial healthcare disparities associated with lung cancer and response to treatment with immunotherapy. This comprehensive initiative will assess how immunotherapy differentially affects African American and white lung cancer patients and the extent to which there are differential biological, psychological and social drivers by race of treatment response. This research has the potential to identify race-specific factors that could be used to drive treatment decision-making and clinical follow-up.

Since the Partners Committee began, Partners Events have raised more than $17 million to support Karmanos’ world-renowned scientists in conducting ground-breaking research, which helps lead to new and advanced treatment options and supportive post-treatment care for cancer survivors.

How Partners Started
Karmanos Cancer Institute long-time supporters Anna and Harry Korman had the vision to begin Partners in memory of their late daughter Suzanne who died of cancer at the age of 36. The Kormans established the committee as a way to engage young people in raising money for cancer research, knowing that research would lead to advancements in treatment options and early detection methods.

The Kormans’ daughter and son-in-law Eunice and Milton Ring and other family members continue the Kormans’ legacy along with the Partners Committee. The Partners are united in the fight against cancer and are dedicated to solely raising funds for research at Karmanos Cancer Institute, a subsidiary of McLaren Health Care, through the annual signature fundraiser known as The Partners Event.
