McLean, Va, Wednesday, October 14, 2015–The immixGroup Foundation announced today it has raised $125,000 to support cancer research, education, and patient care at Johns Hopkins. The foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization affiliated with immixGroup, Inc. immixGroup, an Arrow company, helps technology companies do business with the government.

Proceeds from the immixGroup Foundation’s Eleventh Annual Charity Golf Tournament, held at Lansdowne Resort on October 7, brought the total cumulative amount raised on behalf of Johns Hopkins to more than $1,250,000.

These proceeds will fund the immixGroup Foundation Surgical Oncology Fellowship in the Department of Surgery at Johns Hopkins. The fellowship, launched by the immixGroup Foundation in 2009, provides funding for an individual post-doctoral research fellow and equips him or her with the skills to become a leader in the field of academic surgical oncology.

Year after year, the immixGroup Foundation Charity Golf Tournament continues to benefit from the strong support of the government technology community and local businesses. Top-level sponsorship support came from Aruba Networks, Brocade, Cisco, Fortinet, Intel Security, NetScout, and Red Hat.

More than 100 local businesses and individuals also contributed gift certificates, vacations, golf products, and other items which were auctioned or raffled during a reception following the tournament.

Pawlik, Chief of the Division of Surgical Oncology at Johns Hopkins. “Through the incredible kindness and philanthropy of immixGroup, a generation of young surgeons have had the opportunity to blossom.
