'This Affects All of Us: The Real Impact of Cutting Medical Research Dollars'

What happens in Washington doesn’t stay there — it reaches all the way into San Diego’s labs, hospitals, and classrooms.

Proposed federal cuts to medical research threaten the life-changing work happening right here in our community. From childhood cancer breakthroughs to ensuring diverse voices shape the future of medicine, local researchers are at risk of losing the support they need to keep pushing science forward.

Join the Prebys Foundation and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network to hear directly from San Diego scientists and advocates who are stepping up to explain what these cuts really mean — for our families, our health, and our future. But this isn’t just about what’s at stake. It’s about what we can do together.

After the panel, you’ll learn simple, meaningful ways to take action. Because once we understand the impact, we can help change the outcome.

Will you join us in standing up for science and the people it serves?
