Save the Date: “Colors of Hope: Cancer Research Fundraiser” Set for August 25

The Nebraska Cancer Research Center (NCRC) (www.necancerresearch.org) has begun planning the 3rd Annual “Colors of Hope: Cancer Research Fundraiser” brought to you by Southeast Nebraska Cancer Center.  The event will be held at Chez Hay in Downtown Lincoln on Thursday, August 25, 2016.  It will begin with a social hour at 5:30 p.m., followed by a delicious meal catered by Chez Hay, a silent auction of desserts and other donated items as well as a live auction of larger items, which includes vacation packages.

NCRC is a program of Lincoln Medical Education Partnership, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Over 2,000 volunteers have participated in treatment, prevention and control trials through NCRC over the past 30 years, helping to identify more effective cancer treatments and improve the quality of life of cancer patients. NCRC partners with local hospitals and oncology clinics to provide cutting edge research through clinical trials. In 2015, more than 130 guests assisted with efforts to raise money for NCRC and bring awareness to the importance of cancer research to the Lincoln community. Thanks to all of the guests and sponsors, last year’s event raised over $19,000!

NCRC is currently looking for event sponsors and auction items, with several generous marketing packages available. For more information about the Nebraska Cancer Research Center and their event contact Kelly Madcharo at (402) 327-6851 or visit www.necancerresearch.org.
