The Sandra Taub Humanitarian Award
Each year since 1998, at The Breast Cancer Research Foundation Luncheon and Symposium held during October, the Foundation bestows its Humanitarian Award for outstanding leadership in the fight against breast cancer. The recipients are taken from all walks of life, and have demonstrated through their work, inspirational courage or individual commitment a unique passion for the cause.
With the 2010 award, the Humanitarian Award was named, and will be in known in perpetuity, as the Sandra Taub Humanitarian Award. We honor the legacy of Sandra Taub, whose memory lives on through the stellar humanitarian example of her beloved parents, Arlene and Joseph Taub, and her entire family.
