Hearts of Gold Gala

Dylan Putz, 2002 - 2022

Come enjoy live music, casino table games, great food, silent & live auctions and more! This is a fundraising event to support the Michael Cuccione Childhood Cancer Research program at BC Children's Hospital. Tickets will be available starting mid-November through the Chilliwack Cultural Centre website. To find out more about the gala and Hearts of Gold go to our website www.heartsofgoldforkids.ca

Cancer is the #1 disease killing children today yet only 5% of all cancer research funding is given to childhood cancer. Together we are going to do something about that. My son Dylan was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma in Sept. 2020 at the age of 17. He passed away January 25, 2022. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a highly aggressive, rare form of pediatric cancer. Over the last 40 years there have been no significant improvements in survival rates or treatments for rare, hard to treat cancers like Dylan’s, highlighting the need for new, less toxic treatment options.

ALL money raised is in support of the Michael Cuccione Foundation at BC Children's Hospital and 2 other facilities that are researching to find better, less toxic treatments for rare, aggressive pediatric cancers:

• Dr. Noah Federman at UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
• Dr. Charles Keller at Children’s Cancer Therapy Development Institute (CC-TDI)

Thank you for your support!
