The StartUp Health team is proud to attend the Stinky Ball and we hope you will join us! The Stinky Ball, on May 3rd in NYC, is a celebration of life benefiting the Foundation for Thymic Cancer Research.

The past six extremely successful Stinky Ball events, each of them with well over 300 people, have raised over $800,000 for thymic cancer research. There will be fun for all, an open bar, dinner, raffle, and inspiration. Best of all, you’ll be supporting a great cause. Get your tickets on the Stinky Ball site!
