“It is a Privilege and an Honor for me to continue to grow this foundation with you, United by our Heritage, our Humanity and our collective Hope for a cancer-free world.” With these heartfelt words, Daniele Bodini accepted the Alessandro di Montezemolo Lifetime Achievement Award during the annual American-Italian Cancer Foundation Gala, where he also serves as Chairman.
The honor, presented “for 25 years as Chairman of AICF,” paid tribute to his leadership and his lifelong commitment to philanthropy, science, and the enduring bond between Italy and the United States. Held at the magnificent The Pierre Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, the American-Italian Cancer Foundation’s Annual Benefit Dinner and Auctions — now in its 43rd edition — has become one of New York’s most anticipated philanthropic gatherings, drawing leading figures from the social, business, and government circles of both nations.
