Coronado will host a fundraising event titled “Sip, Shop, and Shuffle” on Thursday, October 23, from 4 PM to 7 PM at the Coronado Fire Station Venue. Organized by the Cancer Cartel, the event aims to provide financial support to individuals experiencing cancer-related hardships.
This engaging evening will feature a mix of bubbles, bites, beats, and Mahjong, welcoming both seasoned players and newcomers. Guests will have the opportunity to shop from a curated selection of designer fashion donated by A Line Boutique, which includes brands such as Veronica Beard, Ramy Brook, and L’Agence. Local DJ Tee Lynn will entertain attendees while they enjoy the event.
In addition to the shopping and entertainment, Emerald Spear Tequila will serve a specialty cocktail, enhancing the festive atmosphere. The event will also feature photographers Ally Boyer-Sprouse and Golden Flutter Photography, who will document the evening’s highlights. Attendees can participate in opportunity drawings for exciting prizes donated by local businesses, including Belong Pilates and Johnny Was.
All proceeds from the event will directly support individuals coping with the financial burdens associated with cancer treatment, including essential expenses like food, fuel, and housing. The Cancer Cartel has been instrumental in this regard, having distributed $1.2 million in aid to cancer warriors in need since its inception.
The average cost of cancer treatment in the United States can exceed $150,000, creating a significant financial strain on patients and their families. In light of this, the organization focuses on providing direct grants to those struggling financially during their treatments. The need for assistance has been growing, particularly with an increase in requests from younger cancer patients, most notably women in their twenties.
The Cancer Cartel does not contribute to cancer research; rather, it prioritizes providing immediate financial support to those facing challenging circumstances. The “Sip, Shop, and Shuffle” event is designed to be inclusive for all community members, regardless of their experience with Mahjong.
Participants can look forward to enjoying a variety of appetizers, tequila cocktails, and wines from Figjam Winery throughout the evening, creating a delightful environment for socializing and indulgence.
The Coronado Mahjong Club is collaborating with the Cancer Cartel to ensure the event’s success. Community involvement is encouraged, and attendees are invited to contribute through sponsorships, volunteer efforts, or by donating items for opportunity drawings, further enhancing the fundraising efforts.
This event serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle faced by many individuals affected by cancer and the importance of community support in alleviating financial burdens associated with treatment. The Cancer Cartel remains committed to its mission of helping those in need, and partaking in the “Sip, Shop, and Shuffle” event is one way the community can come together to make a difference.
