The Anne Stirba Cancer Foundation raises funds for breast cancer research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

“This benefit concert will be a first class event and is consistent with the long-term vision of the Foundation to someday eradicate breast cancer,” said Peter Stirba. “Through research efforts and providing research funding to the Huntsman Cancer Institute we are thrilled to provide this opportunity to reach out to the community and are hopeful that the response will be well-received.”

The Anne Stirba Cancer Foundation was created in honor of Third District Court Judge Anne M. Stirba who lost her courageous 10-year battle against breast cancer in 2001.
