The University of Texas Health Center at Tyler :: 30th Anniversary Celebration: XXX-Out Cancer

On November 1, 2007, The University of Texas Health Science Center held the “30th Anniversary Celebration: XXX-Out Cancer.”

The Celebration was a great success, raising more than $180,000 that will be used locally for cutting-edge cancer research and treatment at UT Health Northeast. More than 800 people – including many area elected officials and business leaders – attended the gala dinner dance in the Harvey Hall Convention Center in Tyler.

Since the first Celebration, held in 2002, over $894,000 has been raised for various Health Science Center patient care and research programs.
