ANNUAL AUCTION BENEFITING SOUTH SOUND CARE FOUNDATION CELEBRATES 10 YEARS

Beer & Bites is October 7th! 

Beer & Bites, the annual event and auction benefitting The South Sound CARE Foundation (CARE) will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Saturday, October 7th 2023. All proceeds from this annual event go towards expanding clinical trials and research for patients fighting cancer in the South Sound. Historically a cancer diagnosis in the South Sound meant an immediate referral to Seattle or cancer centers far beyond. Since 2008, the South Sound CARE Foundation has been expanding access to the very best care for patients in the Puget Sound region. Important trials are conducted locally, patients are living longer and they are living better lives. Beer & Bites helps fund this research and provide access to care that patients were previously unable to find locally.

Spearheaded by CARE’s Founder, Dr. Frank Senecal, and Gordon Rush, a CARE Emeritus Board Member and Founder of The Rush Companies, Beer & Bites got its start in 2013 as a way to get the local community involved in improving treatments options for a disease that has touched far too many: cancer. The 10th annual Beer & Bites fundraiser will be held at The Waterfront Venue at Narrows Marina. The generosity of the local community has allowed Beer & Bites to raise more than $7.6 million over the last 10 years to bring important research to our area and to allow cancer patients to stay close to home, surrounded by their support systems during some of the most challenging times of their life.

“Finding a better way to care for our patients and a better way to treat the cancer – whether it is surgery, immune therapy, chemo therapy, or radiation therapy—all depend upon good clinical research,” said Dr. Frank Senecal, Founder of the South Sound CARE Foundation. “Beer & Bites helps make that research possible.”

Rattle Dem Bones Halloween Bike Ride and Costume Contest @ Kimball Drive Park and Ride / Cushman Trail Trailhead near Wilco Store
Tickets
Oct 29 @ 8:00 am – 1:00 pm

Round up the little goblins (or maybe your ghoulfriends) and join us for Rattle Dem Bones – a group bike ride for people of all ages and abilities, followed by a spook-tacular Halloween party in boo-ti-ful Gig Harbor!

Rattle Dem Bones has something for anyone: Cyclists riding Monster Hills will be challenged by some good climbs and overtaken by gorgeous scenery. Anyone terrified of Monster Hills can take on the Son of Monster, still lovely but shorter and less hilly. Casual riders seeking healthy outdoor activity, but not necessarily wanting to be super heroes, can ride as much or as little as they wish on the Mini-Monster route. We invite anyone who doesn’t want to ride to help support the riders with good cheer… and candy!

All riders and volunteers are invited to the post ride party, featuring music and the awards ceremony – with prizes – for best costumes in several categories, including best themed group, best volunteer and best use of the bike as part of the costume.

Proceeds from Rattle Dem Bones benefit the Greater Gig Harbor Foundation’s Community Recreation Fund – we are going to have fun and also make it possible for all kids in our area to join in sports and recreation activities, regardless of their family’s ability to pay registration fees and equipment costs. Ride is limited to 250 riders, so plan your costume, tune up your bike and register for Rattle Dem Bones today!
