That time of year again... Come on out for a Summer Send-off with great music, food and drink and support a great cause that is near and dear to my heart...Cancer Research. Thankfully this year I am willing AND able to help coordinate the second of many annual events. This year we've secured 2 huge tents (thanks to Joe Stellato) to put 2 great bands under to make it twice as good as last year!
My friends Lou, Scott & Jim from the Lou Franco Project will be back for their second year and we've added another awesome band called Geerbox featuring the amazing vocals of my buddy Billy Geer. If you like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, Billy’s vocals will blow you away! 
Just like last year, Steph, Dan and the crew from 99.9 The Hawk are teaming up to throw another party with some more great raffle prizes and giveaways. Dentists will be on hand as well as my Oncologist Dr. Sanjiv Agarwala (Chief Oncologist of St. Luke’s Hospital) to talk about the importance of oral cancer screenings and the latest developments in oral cancer and melanoma treatments. Dr Agarwala is one of the leading local pioneers in clinical cancer research and trials in the Lehigh Valley. Some of those trials were used in my treatments that helped ease some of the traditional side effects of radiation and chemo, but there is still a long way to go.Come out and join me in celebrating with fellow cancer survivors while remembering those less fortunate who lost their battle and help us exceed the $3,500 that Steph, Dan and The Hawk raised last year to help beat cancer. 100% of all money raised through raffles plus 20% of all Outback Steakhouse’s food sale proceeds from the day will go directly to St. Luke’s Cancer Center. Help us make a difference – See you on September 19th – and remember, get there early and stay late…you won’t want to miss a song from either of these two phenomenal bands!!!! I got my tambourine ready :-) Let’s send off the summer with a bash to remember. Oh, and there is a real good possibility that the Nancy Run Fire Department will have a fire truck on hand for the kids!
This is a rain or shine event (that’s why we got the huge tents!) and don’t forget to bring a lawn chair or blanket. If you can’t make it to the event and would like to make a donation, please make your check payable to St. Luke’s Cancer Center and send it or any other donations to 99.9 The Hawk, Attn: Steph Alteiri, 107 Paxinosa Road West, Easton, PA 18040.
