Pour for More
CancerFree KIDS recently held their annual Wine with Dean fundraiser at the Montgomery Inn Boat House.
The event featured dinner with wine pairings led by Dean Gregory, and honored those whose leadership and expertise support the mission of CancerFree KIDS, including their Visionary Society members, board members, and volunteers.
The evening began with an introduction to CancerFree KIDS and their mission from Jill Brinck, executive director, followed by a speech from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center researcher, Dr. Biplab Dasgupta, a multiple-time recipient of CancerFree KIDS New Idea Awards. He spoke about the importance of CancerFree KIDS’ impact in the world of pediatric cancer research.
During the evening, the CancerFree KIDS Champions – children who have had cancer – volunteered to be table hosts and assisted the waitstaff in serving guests. During the program, they also shared their most recent accomplishments.
Another opportunity to support CancerFree KIDS is the 100 Mile Challenge. This fitness and fundraising campaign during the month of September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, asks participants can “conquer the challenge” by completing 100 miles of any activity and raise $100 to support CancerFree KIDS’ mission to fund childhood cancer research.
Individuals can create a Community Team with friends and family or start a team with co-workers and employees to join our Corporate Competition. The winning teams receive a CancerFree KIDS grant named in their team/company’s honor.
CancerFree KIDS is holding a 100 Mile Challenge virtual info session this Wednesday, June 12, at noon. Click to RSVP!
