Support Teenagers Dealing with Cancer!
Join our community for a special evening to help teenagers who deal with all cancers. The money raised from this event will benefit Bite Me Cancer's Teen Support Bag program. Teenagers "fall through the cracks" in the hospital systems, whether they are in a pediatric ward or an adult ward. Nikki, our founder, experienced the disconnect herself as a 17 year old dealing with cancer so she developed this foundation and our Teen Support Bag for teenagers so they can feel supported and inspired. General program: Cash Bar Only (Complimentary prosecco, red wine and white wine). Registration/Reception 6:00pm (seating for dinner at 6:45pm); Chairman Welcome, Acknowledgements, Nikki introduction 7:00pm; Nikki's Keynote and Toast 7:30pm; Dinner 7:45pm; Presentations 8:30pm; Silent Auction Closes 9:30pm; Special Announcements 10:00pm.
2021 Summary Video of Wine Dinner
Donations during the wine dinner will help to sustain and expand this bag program as each bag costs $85 for the foundation to assemble and ship. Help us to give out our 10,000th bag this fall! So far, we have given our bags to almost 9,900 teenagers battling cancer! The heartwarming and positive feedback we receive is amazing! We currently have over 190 hospitals distributing our bags directly to their teen patients who are in all 50 states and DC! Here are some examples of the positive impact these bags are making for teenagers dealing with cancer (and their families)!
