Honorees this year included a familiar face-Carmen Marc Valvo-himself a ten year cancer survivor---and pal with a woman involved with the Foundation, hence the connection...
Carmen Marc Valvo

Valvo has been actively working with other non-profits dedicated to cancer eradication and detection---and his fashion world of connections brings a different group on board--- to the Waxman---nice.
