Cancer Lifeline's Tenth Annual Luncheon
10th Annual Luncheon
The 10th Annual Luncheon was a tremendous success! Over 600 community members came out to support our mission and the event has already exceeded our goal, raising over $260,000!
Emceed by Enrique Cerna with KCTS 9, the event showcased Cancer Lifeline’s support services for all people living with cancer. Keynote speaker, author and former President of Starbucks International Coffee Co., Howard Behar spoke passionately about how it’s not about the cancer, or the stuff in our lives – it’s about the people and our relationships.
