Traditionally, the ruby is the gemstone of a 15th anniversary, symbolizing passion, strength, and enduring commitment. Those qualities have defined the San Francisco Discovery Gala for fifteen years, bringing together a community dedicated to funding lifesaving research, supporting patients and families, and driving discoveries that move us closer to a world free from cancer.
