Great event tonight benefiting young cancer survivors

I'm raising money for Endure To Cure to help with pediatric cancer research, treatment, and care. SAMFund provides support when they've survived. Tonight there's a great event at Joe's to help them in this endeavor. Cornhole for Cancer is only $35 in advance and $40 at the door and includes admission, entry into the bags tournament, and an open bar.
It's hard enough entering the "real world" in your 20's, but when you add residual medical bills and teenage years spent in the hospital it's even more difficult. SAMFund helps young adults transition from cancer patients to survivors by helping them with things like tuition, insurance, and rent. SAMFund was started in 2003 by Samantha Eisenstein Watson, a two-time young adult cancer survivor, and to date over $400,000 has been given to help other survivors.

The event is from 7 to 10pm and all proceeds benefit SAMFund. Click here to get tickets online.
