The 30th annual Spinoff event, which was held at the Rancho Santa Fe property of longstanding philanthropists Bill and Janie Rohn, brought together Scripps Health supporters on June 12 for a joyous luau. The event with a tropical theme earned $525,000 for Scripps Cancer Center’s cancer nutrition program.
Over 140 attendees savored Polynesian-inspired cuisine and entertainment while learning firsthand how individualized dietary advice is essential for cancer patients to stay strong during their treatment and recuperation.
The event raised an additional $100,000 to help fund the acquisition of cutting-edge radiation oncology equipment.
Brooke Koehler, Susan and Steve Mollenkopf, and Ella and Han Helders supported this year’s event.
