Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women.

Statistics via breastcancer.org show that about 3.8 million women have a history of this form of cancer, including women who are currently on and off of treatment.  About one in eight will develop invasive breast cancer in the course of their lifetime.

At the event, various restaurants in town provided food and there was a raffle, an auction, and live entertainment.

The function collected $10,600 which will go toward her family.
