Q. What is this for anyway?

A. Alissa's Hope is a cancer charity. Alissa was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 17 years old. She had no family history. After her friend and fellow cancer survivor passed away in 2008, Alissa decided she wanted to give back to the community all of the support that she was given in her time of need. Alissa is now 13 years cancer free and counting and has been raising money ever since. Through our fundraising efforts, we have raised over $75,000 in the fight against cancer.

A. The money that is raised from this event and other events that will take place in the next year will go towards helping local cancer patients recieve care as well as cancer research.
