This past weekend John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia, was honored at the Kristen Ann Carr Fund’s 2022 “A Night to Remember” Gala at Tribeca Grill in New York City. The event raised over $1m and featured a performance by John Mellencamp.

The Kristen Ann Carr Fund began in 1993, shortly after Kristen’s death from sarcoma. Bruce Springsteen performed a landmark benefit concert at Madison Square Garden that year, raising $1.5 million to help fund an endowment for an annual sarcoma fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The Kristen Ann Carr Fund was the first foundation formed to exclusively address, gain understanding and provide treatment of sarcoma. They have funded over 35 doctors to study sarcoma cancers, built a dedicated sarcoma laboratory, and are nearly finished with a $10 million dollar capital campaign for The Kristen Ann Carr Center for Sarcoma Treatment & Research, designed to significantly expand the ability of doctors to make progress in both the lab and in patient care.
