Join us for Barbeque, Bingo and Beer, June 27, 2021
Join us for our annual fundraiser!
In collaboration with Pourhouse Huntsville and Bark and Barrel, we are excited to host our 2nd Annual Fundraiser.
Join us for Barbeque, Bingo, and Beer, a charity event benefiting the PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome (PHTS) Foundation. PHTS is an under-diagnosed hereditary cancer syndrome affecting women, men, and children alike. Patients with the disorder are at a high lifetime risk of developing breast, thyroid, kidney, colon, and endometrial cancer, as well as melanoma. Some of our patients are affected by developmental delay and autism. Currently, there is no cure, only prevention, and screening. Your support will help us advance programs to accelerate research and give back to families in need. We will also make a donation to Alabama Rare in honor of all who are living with rare and genetic diseases.
