Every summer the "Race for Hope" brings sailors and friends together at the King Harbor Yacht Club to ride the winds toward a cure for cancer. The annual regatta was established to honor the memory of Tom Collier, a Club member who succumbed to cancer.

Since 1996, the annual event has raised more than $400,000, all of which directly supports the research of Phillip Koeffler, MD, director of Cedars-Sinai's Division of Hematology/Oncology and the Mark Goodson Chair in Oncology Research at the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute. Dr. Koeffler's lab is investigating the molecular causes of breast cancer to bring about personalized treatment options.

What A Pair! is a Broadway-caliber production of duets sung by an eclectic array of celebrities from television, film, music, and the stage. The “pairings” of celebrities are comical, heartwarming, entertaining, and impressive—and would not otherwise be seen outside of this production. The event includes a VIP pre-party with the celebrity cast and a post-concert reception for over 500 attending guests.

Since its inception in 2002, What A Pair! has raised over $2 million dollars for breast cancer research. Net proceeds go to the breast cancer research and education program at the Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute.
