Our premier fundraising event of the year was hosted on May 8, 2025.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Quest for a Cure 2025, the CDCN’s premier fundraising event, held on May 8 at the stunning Appleford Estate on Philadelphia’s Main Line. It was truly a magical evening filled with hope, connection, and commitment to the fight against Castleman disease. Guests enjoyed cocktails in the garden, live music, a gourmet dinner, garden games, a vibrant silent auction, and a heartfelt award presentation.
We were honored to be joined by our dedicated event co-chairs, Caitlin Fajgenbaum and Mileva Repasky, whose leadership and passion were instrumental in bringing the evening to life. The event was emceed by Brian Taff of 6abc Action News, who brought warmth and energy to the night. One of the most powerful moments came from David Fajgenbaum, MD, MBA, MSc, CDCN Co-Founder, President, and Castleman disease patient, whose inspiring remarks reminded us all why this cause matters.
All of the funds raised at Quest this year will go directly toward life-saving Castleman disease research, including the launch of a new clinical trial for Ruxolitinib, a promising treatment for patients with limited options. If you weren’t able to attend or would still like to support this critical work, donations are welcome year-round at cdcn.org/donate.
We’re thrilled to share that photos from the event are now available. You can relive the evening and view some of our favorite moments by visiting the official event photo album.
If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, volunteering, or getting involved with next year’s event, we would love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at events@castlemannetwork.org or call 610.304.0696.
The CDCN extends our deepest appreciation to our Quest for a Cure 2025 sponsors.
