Hosted by the Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare Foundation and presented by Electrotech, Cards for a Cure will celebrate 16 years of honoring local breast cancer survivors at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, at The Moon. The evening includes music, casino games, food, libations and a large silent auction. This year's honoree is Hope Witters, a Tallahassee mom, wife and executive with Eli Lilly and Company.
Hope, who had a double mastectomy and chemotherapy at TMH, is now cancer free! She hopes her story will inspire all women to get an annual mammogram and motivate the community to support local breast cancer patients!
Here are a few ways generous community support given through the TMH Foundation makes a difference for patients:
• A PET scan, which alerts doctors to areas of abnormal cell growth in the body, costs more than $1,800. Donations are used to ease the burden for patients in financial need.
• TMH is a regional cancer care destination. Some patients must travel long distances to the capital city for treatment. Community generosity provides gas cards, car rides and lodging for patients and their caregivers.
• In 2023, the TMH Foundation gave $2 million, thanks to the generosity of donors, toward the purchase of a Varian Edge Linear Accelerator for the Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center. The Varian Edge offers the latest advancements in radiation, delivering radiation faster and with more precision and minimizing risks and side effects for patients.
