Close to 500 people attended the 10th annual “A Chocolate Affaire†auction and fundraiser hosted by Cornucopia House Cancer Support Center. The Feb. 8 event raised nearly $60,000 to help provide free services for cancer patients, including yoga classes, massage therapy, educational forums and lending libraries. The money raised set a record in fundraising.
This year’s honorary co-chairs were Dr. H. Shelton Earp, director of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Dr. H. Kim Lyerly, director of Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Cornucopia House provides nonclinical cancer support services and its programs complement the services of the hospital-based cancer centers in the Triangle. For more information, go to www.cornucopiahouse.org
