PCF Palm Beach Gala 2025: An Evening of Philanthropy, Laughter, and Impact

Palm Beach’s philanthropic elite convened for a spectacular evening at the 2025 Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) Gala Dinner, held at the elegant private residence of Michele Kang. This exclusive event, part of the larger PCF Pro-Am Tennis Tour Palm Beach Tournament, seamlessly blended high-impact fundraising with world-class entertainment, featuring a hilarious performance by comedic legends Steve Martin and Martin Short.

The Gala Dinner was the opening act of an extraordinary three-day event that included the Milken Institute South Florida Dialogues, intimate salons featuring over 120 distinguished panelists, and a competitive Pro-Am Tennis Tournament at The Breakers. The tournament brought together philanthropists, business leaders, and professional athletes in support of PCF’s mission to accelerate research and treatments for prostate cancer.

An illustrious guest list filled the evening with influential figures from business, fashion, sports, and medicine, including Mike Milken, Serena Williams, Tony Robbins, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Tommy Hilfiger, Dee Hilfiger, Steve Wynn, Andrea Wynn, John Paulson, and Larry Leeds. Attendees engaged in thought-provoking discussions on cutting-edge cancer research, while the atmosphere remained both celebratory and deeply impactful.

All proceeds from the weekend’s events directly funded PCF’s pioneering efforts in prostate cancer prevention, detection, and treatment, with notable initiatives including:

Young Investigators Program

• A platform that has supported 410 scientists across 16 countries, leading to 15 FDA-approved treatments and four Nobel Prizes in Medicine.

Advancing Cancer Research

• PCF’s focus on immunotherapy, microbiome science, and nutrition-based medicine has significantly influenced research on over 70 types of cancer.

Following the Gala, the PCF Pro-Am Tennis Tournament delivered two days of spirited competition at The Breakers. Tennis greats and philanthropists came together to play for a cause, with this year’s winners including:

• Pat Davidson & Johan Kriek – Champion, Group 1

• Herbie Klotz & Mac Shyslinger – Runner-Up, Group 1

• Steve Tananbaum & Robert Kendrick – Champion, Group 2

• Joe Jacobs & Matija Pecotic – Runner-Up, Group 2

Founded by Mike Milken in 1993, the Prostate Cancer Foundation has invested nearly $800 million in groundbreaking cancer research, impacting 67 forms of human cancer and reducing prostate cancer deaths by over 52%. Today, more than 1.5 million men are alive because of PCF’s dedication to scientific advancements.

The PCF Palm Beach Gala was more than an evening of philanthropy—it was a powerful testament to the impact of collaboration, generosity, and visionary leadership in the fight against cancer.
