Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for the 4th Annual Taste to Educate fundraiser for Cancer for College. We were able to raise over $40k for Pacific Northwest cancer survivors!
Our sincere appreciation to our friends from UW Medicine, Children's Hospital Seattle and the AVEN Foundation. We'd also like to thank Va Piano Winery, Long Shadows Winery, Maryhill Winery, Ramseyer Vineyard and Domaine Drouhin Winery for supporting the event. We also thank Chef Philip Milhalski and his wonderful staff from Nell's Restaurant for hosting the event.
The event would not have been possible without the help of our Pacific Northwest Committee and the girls from Kappa Alpha Theta sorority who provided support to the event.

Cancer for College is a 501 (c) 3 charitable foundation based in Southern California with a Pacific Northwest office in Seattle. The Pacific Northwest office is run entirely by volunteers and focuses on the needs of survivors from the states of Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. Cancer for College was formed in 1993 by Craig Pollard, a two-time Hodgkin’s disease survivor. He created the fund in response to a lack of financial assistance for cancer survivors and their families who are left unable to compete for traditional scholarships and burdened by medical debt. In 2006, Pollard had both feet amputated above the ankle when an aggressive bacterial infection attacked his body, inspiring him to add amputees to the list of eligible scholarship applicants. Cancer for College will grant more than $250,000 in scholarships to 350 applicants this year alone. Since it inception, Cancer for College has awarded $400,000 in scholarships to nearly 500 applicants.
