SLOCA Surpasses Its

$100K Auction Goal!

SLOCA Treasurer Bruce Hudson reported on Monday that the gross receipts from SLOCA's annual gala and auction surpassed our goal of $100,000, raising $109,036.50.

"We are thrilled at the turnout and the support SLOCA received for our gala," said Beth Hudson. "We'd set what we thought was an ambitious goal -- more than twice our previous year's total -- and we exceeded it."

Beth credited the support of Ameren and other sponsors for covering the costs of the event. That means nearly every dollar raised through the silent and oral auctions and the Fund-A-Need donations will go to SLOCA's mission of research, awareness education and survivor support.

The gala's theme was Life Is Your Canvas – Live It OUT LOUD. The program featured talks by Kristen Jorgensen, Joel Rutherford and Cathey Nemish, and a slide show of photographs and reflections of survivors who are "living out loud" after their cancer diagnoses.
