Cancer Rehab Fundraiser
Cancer. It sucks. But you can make a difference at Cancer Aid, an annual fundraiser for the Cancer Rehabilitation Centers and Heal Courageously. Last year's funds were enough to start scholarships for cancer patients in Utah. The monies raised at the event helped to cover the costs of specialized exercise and physical therapy, as well as tai chi, yoga and educational classes at The Hope Lodge. There will be a brunch menu from Rye Restaurant with entertainment from local artists. Delete Blood Cancer (DKMS), will be onsite with DNA matching for the bone marrow registry. Pierpont Place, 163 W. Pierpont Ave., 801-891-1995, Thursday, July 14, 6-9 p.m., $35 per person, reserved seating and VIP seating also available, CancerAid2016.EventBrite.com
