Gin Sanders was treated at Dana-Farber and is a six-year survivor of stage-four throat cancer. Satch Sanders is a Boston Celtics great who played for thirteen years and won eight world championships. Area business and political leaders, basketball and other sports legends, and members of Boston's medical community will be in attendance.
