Fundraiser for metastatic breast cancer

Ike and Martin will be the featured duo at a fundraiser June 26 for METAvivor, a nonprofit that raises money for research into stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.

METAvivor is unique in that 100 percent of donations go to research. Since its founding in 2009, METAvivor has funded $2.4 million in grants and in 2017 will fund $1 million, and $2 million in 2018.

Local retired obgyn Kelly Shanahan is a reviewer for the grants. The review panel includes scientists and breast oncologists as well as metastatic advocates like Shanahan.

The concert will be at Lake Village in Stateline from 5:30-8:30pm. BYOB and chair; finger food provided. Minimum donation for admission is $20 and tickets can be purchased online, as well as at the door.

There is also a raffle for three nights at a Deer Valley ski condo; valued at $5,000. Fifty tickets at $100 a piece will be sold.
