Lombardi Women celebrates the power of Connecting for a Cure

For 16 years, Washington’s most influential business women have gathered annually to support miracle-making breast cancer research at Georgetown Lombardi’s Nina Hyde Center for Breast Cancer Research. This research directly impacts the world-class care delivered to women treated at Lombardi. Today, Lombardi Women’s unique spirit and sense of solidarity have made it one of the largest and most sought-after events in the region. Over $4 million has been raised by Lombardi Women in support of breakthrough research and scientific discoveries at Nina Hyde – research that results in life-saving treatments and compassionate care.
