Photos from Under One Umbrella

The Under One Umbrella fundraiser for the Stanford Women’s Cancer Center was held on Monday, January 27, 2025. What a privilege it was to have the immeasurably talented Amy Grant and Vince Gill perform at the Bing Concert Hall—their presence served to underscore the importance of the occasion. And being able to honor Laurie Kraus Lacob meant so much to all of us who bore witness to her grit, her determination, and her humanity. We are thrilled to announce that so far this year, we have raised more than $2.5 million to help fund critical research and patient-care programs at the Stanford Women’s Cancer Center.
