2011 Porsche Race Car Classic Held with Theme of Driving Lung Cancer Off the Planet

On October 16th, the Porsche Race Car Classic was held at at the Quail Lodge in Napa, CA.  The event, a collaboration with Porsche AG and Porsche Cars North America, was hosted by the UCSF Thoracic Oncology Program and Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation. Proceeds from the highly successful event benefited the respective hosts. The theme, "Driving Lung Cancer Off the Planet", was underscored in a video produced by the Thoracic Oncology Program in connection with the event. Narrated by David M. Jablons, M.D., FACS, the video likens the passion that went into the development of the Porsche, the quintessential automotive vehicle, with the passion of UCSF scientists at Thoracic Oncology Lab as it seeks to eradicate the world's number one cancer killer, lung cancer.
