Cancer Doesn't Pause...We Can't Either

Please Join Us for Beer & Bites 2.0
Saturday, October 3, 2020  

 

Beer & Bites is a sensational night of generosity with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the
South Sound CARE Foundation. 

We are navigating a world that looks nothing like last year – except when it comes to cancer patients. New diagnosis happen each day. More than 1.5 million people will die from cancer this year. Much of the world has paused, but cancer simply does not pause. It ravages patients and their families, and creates even more distance for those undergoing treatment. As a result the need to provide local access to leading edge clinical research is more critical now than it has ever been. For many, it is their last line of defense.

Science and research are the center of resolution to this COVID-19 pandemic, and will continue to be the path to a quest for a cure for cancer. While an incredibly difficult time in our history, the pandemic has shined a light on research like never before. The South Sound CARE Foundation continues to walk along-side our patients, supporting them through the battle for life.

THANK YOU for joining us to support Beer & Bites 2.0
