Give a Little Networking Mixer benefits Childhood Caner

Bella Casa Kitchen & Bath, the local home improvement company, will host a charity mixer on Thursday, February 16, from 6 to 9 pm at their showroom at 1812 W. Tilghman St in Allentown.  The mixer will benefit Angel 34, the Nazareth-based, non-profit organization dedicated to providing services and support to families of children with cancer and to advancing treatment options for childhood cancer. 100% of the money donated to Angel 34 goes to support its efforts.

“Recently, a child at my son’s elementary school died of cancer,” said Faye Motsenigos, owner of Bella Casa.  “It affected me so deeply that I wanted to do something to help those children and those families living with this terrible disease.”  Every day more than 5 children in America are diagnosed with cancer.  While the incidence of other forms of cancer is decreasing, childhood cancer is not.   

Ben Rubenstein, Author of TWICE, How I Became A Cancer-Slaying Super Man Before I Turned 21 will speak about his fight with two different cancers and will sign copies of his book.
