On March 14,ย Susan G. Komenยฎ San Diegoย (Komen San Diego) will bring together leading cancer and wellness experts from around the globe to share the latest developments in breast cancer research, treatment and well-being at its much-anticipated fourth annual dinner symposium, โScreens, Genes & The Choices We Makeโ presented byย Bank of America. The event will take place at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Proceeds from the event will benefit Komen San Diego, the Countyโs largest funder of free breast cancer services and support and theย onlyย organization providing qualified women the free services they need forย every step of the breast cancer journey. Emmyยฎย award-winning journalist, brain tumor survivor andย The New York Timesย bestselling author, Maria Menounos, will host the interactive, casual and cutting-edge event.
Menounos holds the distinct honor of conducting the only interview with the entire Obama family. The interview was touted byย ABC Newsย as one of the defining moments leading to Obamaโs historic victory. Her groundbreaking conversational style of reporting led her, at the age of 22, to become the youngest person ever to hostย Entertainment Tonight. Menounos would go on to do the same for theย Today Show,ย Nightly News,ย Datelineย andย Access Hollywood. She has also held sit down interviews with every U.S. President since George Bush and has traveled the globe, covering everything from the war in Afghanistan to earthquakes in El Salvador to the AIDS crisis in South Africa. While atย Entertainment Tonight, Menounos hostedย ETย onย MTVย andย ETย onย VH-
Menounos has alsoย overcome significant personal challenges. Just months after her mother was diagnosed with stage IV brain cancer, Menounos was also diagnosed with a brain tumor. She endured a difficult operation and recovery, and thankfully the tumor was benign.
