We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your incredible support at the 2023 Forbeck Foundation Blue Jean Ball. Your presence made the event truly special. We are immensely thankful for your generous contributions towards our cause and for making it such a fun night. The energy in the room was off the charts!
In addition to hearing from 2021 Scholar Pippa Cosper, MD, PhD, 2019 Scholar Peter Ly, PhD, and 2009 Scholar and current Scientific Advisory Board member Clark C. Chen, MD, PhD, at the event about the positive and life-changing impact the Forbeck Foundation has had on them, we want to share an unsolicited quote from 2021 Forbeck Scholar, Charles Ishak, PhD.
“I didn’t get a chance to formally thank you at the Blue Jean Ball, but I wanted to say thank you for all of your hard work to create this opportunity that is available nowhere else. As I mentioned on the first night, one of the main reasons that I have a lab this year is because of your efforts with the Forbeck Forums and the Scholar Retreat. For this, I am eternally grateful. I also wanted to express my gratitude to all of those who supported the Blue Jean Ball. All the organizers and supporters came together like a family to support us, and I think Pippa really captured the immense gratitude we all feel. I am so glad that I have at least one more opportunity next year to get together to build more scientific collaborations, and more importantly, more long-lasting relationships. Thank you so much Jamie!”
