Our friends at Wren Collective in Portland invited us out to the event to provide a large LED wall, live event iMag/coverage, and all the other live video components.
The event culminated with the toppling of a 10,000-piece domino exhibit, symbolizing added ammunition in the war on cancer.
Big thanks to Stageworks for providing the LED wall and Guerilla Audio for the sound system.
Nike co-founder and chairman Phil Knight is donating $500 million to cancer research after Oregon Health & Science University met his earlier challenge to raise the same amount, the university has announced.
“These last 22 months have shown what is possible when people of vision focus on a single goal,” Knight said in a statement.
Together, the $1 billion from Knight and OHSU will be used to create the first large-scale program to overhaul early detection of lethal cancers and will help fast-track recruitment of 250 to 300 scientists to launch such an initiative. That includes bringing on about 25 of the world’s top researchers, OHSU said.– Fortune Magazine
