The Carson Tahoe Health Foundation is pleased to announce net proceeds of over $50,000 for their 2nd Annual Carson City HopeFest fundraiser. This is an increase over last year’s net earnings of $37,000 and like last year, one hundred percent of these proceeds go towards local cancer patients seeking treatment in Carson City. Currently, the CTH Foundation is the only non-profit organization focused on supporting Carson area cancer patients with living expenses.

“An unexpected cancer diagnosis is overwhelming, especially when it comes with unplanned expenses, including insurance co-pays, expensive medications, and extra everyday living expenses.” said Kitty McKay, Development Officer for the CTH Foundation. “HopeFest was created for these patients and I am so proud to be part of such a generous community that sees this need and responds with enthusiasm and compassion.”

HopeFest featured an outdoor concert by an nationally recognized A Capella group named Mo5aic and a local band called The Cutters, local brews and barbeque, and raffle prizes that included the choice of a new car or $10,000 (donated by Dick Campagni’s dealerships for the fifth year in a row). Arlene Relko was drawn as the raffle winner that night and she chose the $10,000 prize.

The event was successful thanks to several sponsors, including Dick Campagni’s Carson City Toyota, Scion, Capital Ford, and Hyundai, Mo5aic, Willis and Hudson insurance groups, Firkin & Fox and High Sierra restaurants, Capital Beverage, News Channel 4, Holland & Hart, U.S. Foodservice, Tahoe Creamery, Pepsico, and ESI Security Services.
