Last weekend, we saw an incredible turnout at the biannual gala hosted by the Calistus Multiple Myeloma Foundation in support of Multiple Myeloma awareness, education, and research. It was also the official launch of Mila: the tiny mascot for a very big cause.

Today, I’m excited to support the launch of Adopt a Mila as part of CMMF’s Do Good Days initiative.

Proceeds from every Mila adopted will go toward developing clear, accessible educational materials and tools to support patients and caregivers navigating multiple myeloma.

Grateful to be part of a community working to make science more human, understandable, and hopeful, and support more reachable.

✨ Honored. Inspired. Grateful. ✨

We are incredibly proud to see the Calistus Multiple Myeloma Foundation Gala featured in the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center newsletter as a powerful example of community, leadership, and impact.

This unforgettable evening brought together healthcare leaders, community champions, and advocates united in one mission — improving the lives of patients and families affected by multiple myeloma.

From the inspiring words of keynote speaker Dr. Shinobu Watanabe-Galloway to the presence of Mayor John Ewing Jr. and other distinguished leaders, the night was a true reflection of what happens when a community comes together for a greater purpose.

Together, we continue to raise awareness, support patients, and drive meaningful change — especially in underserved communities.

💛 This is more than an event… it’s a movement.
