Co-chaired by Dr. & Mrs. Michael and Marlene Nissenblatt, Wine & Roses has a 39 year history of uniting our community to honor champions of innovation whose inspiration comes from the heart and whose courage is reflected by the patients they serve.
In the past five years, Night of Wine and Roses has raised over $2.5 million to support the American Cancer Society’s mission to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. It is one of New Jersey’s premier fundraising events with national notoriety.
The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.
Progress against cancer has triggered a 34% decline in U.S. deaths over the past two decades, which equates to 4.5 million fewer cancer deaths. But we can’t stop there.

What does it take to outsmart cancer? Research.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) has helped make possible almost every major cancer breakthrough since 1946. Since then, we’ve invested more than $5 billion in cancer research, making us the largest nonprofit funder of cancer research in the United States, outside of the federal government.
Our Discovery Science department remains committed to finding more – and better – ways to improve the quality of life for cancer patients.
Learn MoreFor more than 10 decades, the American Cancer Society has been dedicated to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before, but there is still work to be done. Join us, support us, and help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
