This event is being hosted by The Salgi Esophageal Cancer Research Foundation, a new Rhode Island-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Established in Rhode Island on November 21, 2011, Salgi’s mission is to raise awareness, encourage early detection and support research in hopes of a cure for esophageal cancer. Salgi was recently able to have the State of Rhode Island recognize April as Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month.
