Event Raises Funds for Immunotherapy Research

Supporters at the "Save our Butts" Fundraiser

 

On Saturday, April 27, 2019, the Colon Cancer Alliance event “Save our Butts” was held at the Elizabeth Fire Hall. Money raised at the event, an evening of food, fun, and entertainment, will fund UPMC Hillman Cancer Center immunotherapy research.  This research could be instrumental in saving the lives of many affected by colorectal cancer, including Jim Huber, the inspirational behind the event.
