MENefit Benefit supporting Prostate Cancer Awareness!

Did you know Prostate Cancer affects 1 in 6 men?

The single biggest factor in beating prostate cancer is early detection. On Friday, August 9th, 2013 Bookwalter Winery will host the MENefit Benefit to support prostate cancer screenings in our community. Proceeds raised will be contributed to the Tri-Cities Cancer Center Foundation. Bocce Ball tournament, golf chiping contest, raffle and games will be featured during the event!

Tickets are $50 presale; $75 at the door and include dinner buffet and two glasses of wine. Also featuring Cava tequila. Tickets can be purchases at Bookwalter Winery, the Tri-Cities Cancer Center or online at www.bookwalterwines.com and everyone 21 and over is welcome!

Third Party Events, such as Menefit Benefit, provide funds to the Tri-Cities Cancer Center Foundation. All funds raised stay local and provide valuable non-reimbursed cancer programs and services for patients, their families, and the community.

Programs include Patient Nurse Navigation, no-cost screenings, cancer-education presentations, and classes in the Center’s Wellness Center, all at no cost thanks to community support of the Tri-Cities Cancer Center Foundation. The Cancer Center also houses the region’s most comprehensive cancer education library, the Ralph R. Peterson Library (supported through donations and third party events). Additionally, donations made to the Foundation provide free wigs, hats, scarves, mastectomy bras, breast prostheses and so much more to cancer patients in need.

The Tri-Cities Cancer Center, a partnership of Lourdes Health Network, Kennewick General Hospital, Kadlec Regional Medical Center and the Tri-Cities community, opened its doors in 1994 as a freestanding non-profit cancer treatment facility.
