2017-12-05 17:30 - 19:30 | CA
Please join the Grotarians as we celebrate the holidays at the Timken Museum of Art. We will enjoy fine art, scrumptious food and drinks, and delightful company.
The Timken Museum of Art is considered one of the finest small museums in the world. Situated in an iconic, Frank Hope-designed mid-century modern building located on the Plaza de Panama in Balboa Park, the Museum is home to a permanent collection that features masterworks covering over 700 years of history, including the only Rembrandt on public display in San Diego. Other featured artists include Jacques-Louis David, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Petrus Christus and John Singleton Copley. Ranging from 14th-century altarpieces through 18th-century portraits and landscapes to 19th-century still life paintings, the collection is world-renown.
In December of each year, the Timken presents its “Jewels of the Season” holiday ornament display. Over 2,000 ornaments have been painstakingly handcrafted by San Diegans Florence Hord and Elizabeth Schlappi over the course of 80 years, drawing influence from the popular Faberge egg. The dazzling ornament installation is designed by San Diego State University graduate students and is fast becoming a San Diego holiday tradition.
Also on view in December at the Timken: Monet’s Étretat: Destination & Motif, featuring two major oil paintings by Claude Monet, on loan from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, of the quaint fishing village and the surrounding majestic cliffs of Étretat: The Manneporte (Étretat) and The Manneporte near Étretat, painted in 1883 and 1886, respectively. Also on display: The Cliffs at Étretat (1890) by William Henry Lipppincott and Sunset, Étretat (1892) by George Inness on loan from Terra Foundation of American Art.

2018-01-25 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States

The Clearity Foundation-Hope for Ovarian Cancer Patients
2018-02-01 12:00 - 13:30 | Liberty Station Conference Center, 2600 Laning Road, San Diego, CA, 92106, United States
Ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women, accounting for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. About half of the women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer are 63 years or older. Learn how one San Diego organization is helping patients and their physicians make better-informed treatment decisions based on molecular profiling of tumors.
Who They Are: HOPE
Patients facing recurrent and refractory ovarian cancer deserve the chance to find the best treatment for their specific cancer. The Clearity Foundation was launched in 2008 to revolutionize ovarian cancer treatment.
Our team is made up of scientists, physicians, and volunteers who are passionate about changing the paradigm for ovarian cancer treatment from a trial-and-error approach to one that individualizes therapy selection based on each patient’s unique tumor molecular profile.
The Clearity Foundation helps eligible women obtain and understand the molecular profile of their tumor. Our profiling approach synthesizes data from multiple sources that measure the levels of specific protein biomarkers and detects certain genetic changes that are relevant in ovarian cancer. The resulting Tumor Blueprint provides information that enables physicians to select drugs that match each patient’s individual disease and may therefore be more effective than other options.
What They Do: The Clearity Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization providing patient support services including lab test coordination, Tumor Blueprint compilation, interpretation, and clinical trial identification free of charge. We believe that all patients, regardless of means, should have access to the most state-of-the-art care.
Clearity works with three commercial clinical laboratories to conduct tumor profiling and then synthesizes the results in order to provide personalized treatment options for ovarian cancer patients. The foundation has built an extensive clinical and molecular profiling database to interpret the tumor profiles and also enable research dedicated to advancing the treatment of ovarian cancer.
