Explore one-of-a-kind hand-painted masks made and signed by celebrities like Sir Anthony Hopkins and Mark Hamill. In 2019, PHLBI hosted the unMASKing the Cure for Cancer Gala. We had dozens of masks created by celebrities on auction at our event.

Our Secretary of our Board of Directors, Michael Arlen, purchased these masks at the gala and kindly donated them back to PHLBI for another opportunity to raise funds. Now, we've partnered with Charitybuzz for a limited-time auction. Please consider placing a bid in support of PHLBI!

WOW! We have officially surpassed our $200,000 fundraising goal for this year's Diamonds Are Forever Casino Evening.

Thank you again to everyone who attended and supported by donating. Our stunning event was made possible by our hosts at the Taglyan Cultural Complex, our sponsors Worthington & Caron, PC, Simon Greenstone Panatier, Frost Law Firm, The Johnny Carson Foundation, The Auen Foundation, and Raymond James.

Our auction would not have been possible without our in-kind sponsors. We thank you for helping create our largest auction to date. And to our volunteers-- thank you all for everything you do to make our events run smoothly.

Thank you to our donor and mesothelioma warrior Sam D. Schwartz for sharing these great photos from your time at the Casino Evening! Sam has been an instrumental donor for Pacific Mesothelioma Center over the years and has given over $200,000 in donations to our organization. Wow!

He made two wonderful prizes possible for our event this year, including a signed Magic Johnson Lakers Jersey and VIP Premier seats to see Lakers, Clippers and LA Kings games. We are so lucky to have had those one-of-a-kind prizes for our auction.

PMC could not make such strides in our research if not for donors like Sam.
