Vahid Moradi Inspiring Others

Share

The UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center is one of 41 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Institutes in the entire country. They are among the centers with the greatest achievements in cancer research, clinical care, education and community contributions. Their mission: to revolutionize cancer prevention, detection and care.

Vahid Moradi, president of CJ Charles Jewelers is passionate about the cause: “Whether it has been a personal encounter, or it has happened to a friend of family member, there is not one of us whose lives have not been touched in some way by cancer. We must think of those who fight a daily battle with this disease and what we can do to help them.”

To help the Moores Cancer Center fight the fight, Vahid donated a spectacular custom made 10.14 ct Columbian Emerald ring to their Spark Gala in April and he hopes to encourage others to get involved and help procure more benefactors. In recognition of his efforts, Vahid was recently given a private tour of the center, including the lab of Dr. Jing Yang, who is making incredible strides in the fight against cancer.

Vahid and his wife Kelly have also been involved in some other extraordinary causes that they are passionate about including Voices with Children, Junior Diabetes Research Fund, Rock the Cure and Miracle Babies. Vahid has been part of these organizations for many years and continues to strive for growth and inspiration, not only for himself but for everything he does in life. He loves for people to be as inspired and passionate as he is towards great causes.
