The 9th Annual Take a Hike for BAG IT was a great success!
Presented by Arizona Oncology, over 300 people filled the Grand Ballroom at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. Our friends at Summit Hut led the multi-level hikers while others enjoyed a meditation walk led by Mary Carhuff. Later everyone joined together to enjoy a tasty brunch.
Lively emcee and auctioneer David Fitzsimmons kept us in stitches while our guest speakers, Dr. Thomas Grogan, founder of Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. and Mrs. Cande Grogan, shared with us some poignant moments in their professional and personal cancer journeys.
Almost $85,000 was raised by our biggest fundraiser of the year….all of which will be used to provide BAG IT at no charge to newly diagnosed cancer patients in Arizona. Thanks once again to our Presenting Sponsor, Arizona Oncology, as well as all of our other generous sponsors, donors, 70+ volunteers and all of you who attended the event.
Tucson, we could not do this without you! See you on the trail next year…
