Following the successful ASV Fund-Run held in December 2025, which united our students, faculty-staff, and alumni in support of cancer research, this community initiative reached a meaningful conclusion on Friday, February 20, 2026.
Our Director, Mr. Michael L. Smith, and Middle School and High School Assistant Director, Mr. Josep V. Frechina, alongside faculty-staff members and 37 students in Grades 11 and 12, visited INCLIVA Biomedical Research Institute to officially present the funds raised by the ASV Community.
The visit commenced with a symbolic donation of the Fund-Run collection and a short talk describing Incliva’s role in biomedical innovation and oncology research. Three groups of students toured the laboratories, where they had firsthand insight into the work done there supporting early diagnosis and highly precise treatments.
While INCLIVA expressed its gratitude to the ASV Community for supporting cancer research, ASV also extended its thanks for hosting and sharing such insightful information with our students.. We look forward to future collaborations!
