Today, the event pairs the Legends of Surfing Invitational with an oncology symposium and has raised more than $14 million for cancer research and innovation. Just 12 days after Kevan M. Shokat, PhD, received the 2026 Rell Sunn Award at this year's gathering, the FDA approved Rasonque (daraxonrasib), a first-in-class targeted therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer. Shokat's pioneering research helped overturn the long-held belief that KRAS, one of cancer's most important drivers, was "undruggable," laying important scientific groundwork for a new generation of RAS-directed cancer therapies. mcclegends.ucsd.edu M.P. 88 OCTOBER 2026
