It's Your City: Carson Tahoe Health Foundation director talks about this summer's HopeFest
In this week's edition of It's Your City, host Cortney Bloomer talks with Carson Tahoe Health Foundation Director Kitty McKay about this summer's annual HopeFest for local cancer patients and fundraising efforts held throughout the year.
The event will be held August 18, 2017 at the Carson Tahoe Cancer Center in Carson City. HopeFest is the only area event raising funds for local cancer patients in need, supporting critical needs like gas to get to treatment, no-cost lodging, assistance with insurance co-pays, and help with life-saving medications. Support is then distributed through the Carson Tahoe Cancer Resource Center.
One hundred percent of proceeds benefit cancer patient support and no-cost Merriner Cottage Lodging. Go here for information on HopeFest 2017.
