William Guy Forbeck Research Foundation

In 2025, we proudly celebrate our 40th anniversary with a series of special events, including a “Toast to 40 Years” Wine Dinner in April, The Taste of Lake Geneva in May, our annual golf outing—now featuring a new Mahjong event—our Spring and Fall Scholar Retreats, three additional scientific meetings, and our signature Blue Jean Ball, where we’ll Rock the Ruby in honor of this milestone year. We’ll also Walk the Lake for Kira Faith, all set against the inspiring backdrop of Lake Geneva—a perfect place for collaboration and progress in cancer research.

About WGFRF:
Founded in memory of William Guy "Billy" Forbeck, who tragically lost his battle with neuroblastoma, the Forbeck Foundation continues his legacy through groundbreaking cancer research. Billy may have only lived 11 years, but his spirit lives on through the transformative work of the Forbeck Foundation.
