“At a time when national research funding remains uncertain, Curebound’s Concert for Cures plays a critical role in sustaining the tremendous momentum cancer research has achieved in recent years,” said Robin Toft, CEO of Curebound. “We are thrilled to welcome P!NK to San Diego and honored that she is lending her extraordinary talent to help Curebound fight this disease that has touched us all.”

To date, Curebound has awarded $51.5 million in cancer research grants, supporting 170 innovative studies across 23 types of adult and pediatric cancers. That investment has led to 30 expanded clinical trials reaching 1,864 patients and generated $161 million in follow-on funding, significantly amplifying the impact of donor dollars.

Curebound Board Chair Rick Valencia, who is co-chairing the concert organizing committee with his daughter, Aubrey Salvati, says the mission is deeply personal and ultimately about patients and their families. “Cancer research isn’t just measured in funding or breakthroughs, it’s measured in the moments families get to keep,” says Valencia. “I’ve seen firsthand how urgently progress matters for families like mine. Many of the treatments and methods of detection and prevention available today didn’t exist five years ago. Research is what gives families time, options, and hope. This night helps us fund that research.”

Gates for Concert for Cures: P!NK open at Petco Park at 6:30 p.m. on May 15 and the show begins at 8:00 p.m.

General ticket sales begin February 27 at www.curebound.org and www.ticketmaster.com. Presales begin February 25 with some VIP tables available. Visit curebound.org today to sign up for early access tickets.
