The Pacific Mesothelioma Center has dedicated itself to providing innovative research to treating mesothelioma. This year to fundraise, the center will have an event called “unMASKing the Cure for Cancer” gala. At this event, masks that have been decorated by celebrities will be auctioned off to raise money for mesothelioma research.

About Asbestos

When the asbestos industry was booming, families of workers were at great risk. Workers often came home with asbestos fibers in their hair, work clothes, and tools. This exposed family members to the toxic substance and increasing their risk of related diseases.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) presented a Workers’ Home Contamination Study to Congress that showed “families of asbestos-exposed workers have been at increased risk of pleural, pericardial or peritoneal mesothelioma, lung cancer, cancer of the gastrointestinal tract, and nonmalignant pleural and parenchymal abnormalities as well as asbestosis.”
Occupations that are at high risk for exposure in older buildings include firefighters, contractors, demolition workers, electricians, and plumbers.

Celebrities Fundraise for Mesothelioma

On November 21 at the UCLA Luskin Conference Center hand-painted masks by actors, athletes, musicians, etc. were auctioned off. The organization wished to raise more than $200,000. This is the first large scale fundraiser. Actor Jamie Foxx organized the celebrity involvement which includes Mark Hamill (actor; “Star Wars” films), Sir Anthony Hopkins (actor and director; “Silence of the Lambs”), Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (wrestler and actor; “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle”), Eileen Davidson (actress, “Days of Our Lives”), Sugar Ray Leonard (former boxing world champion), Pat Boone (legendary singer), and Michelle Stafford (actress, “The Young and the Restless”).
