Held in SW Calgary at Mercato
West (873 85 St SW), this event promises to tempt guests with fresh Italian
fare from the talented kitchen while paired with delicious wines. Attendees
will enjoy bidding on 40 plus amazing auction items. How about a fly-fishing day trip for 4? Ready to own a paddleboard? Or, why not enjoy a luxurious spa-like
treatment at home? With 175 guests
attending, competition will be intense!
Led by Cancer Chic’s Executive Director and Founder, Karla
Laing, ticket-holders are guaranteed to have a fun-filled and memorable
evening, while raising funds for an important cause. “This year’s goal is to raise over $25,000. Proceeds from the event will help us expand
Cancer Chic’s efforts in the programs we offer for young women with cancer,”
says Karla.
Cancer Chic was an idea that was borne while Karla was
undergoing chemotherapy treatments. She
recognized there was a gap in the programs offered to for young women with
cancer.
The women who attend the workshops are between the ages of 20
- 50 and are at various stages of a cancer diagnosis. The focus is to
provide relevant and timely information about survivorship, chemical free
make-up and beauty products, hair loss, plus fitness during and after treatment.
The facilitators, cancer survivors and specialists, deliver upbeat and
realistic stories about their own personal cancer journeys.
