South Lake Tahoe's Krista Kline Carson is battling cancer after a tumor removed from her brain was found to be Stage IV Glioblastoma Multiforme, one of the fastest growing brain cancers.
She has been an inspiration to many, and to support her a group of friends has put together a fundraiser on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion Hall in South Lake Tahoe.
Her husband, musician Jesse Kalin Carson will be joined by other musicians to provide the entertainment for the evening. There will also be a beer pong tournament, raffle prizes, silent auction, a cash bar, dessert bag, and of course, lots of hugs to help Krista in her quest to get 100,000 hugs.
All proceeds will directly fund Krista's costly treatment.
For those that can donate raffle prizes, they will be gladly accepted by Shannon Beni. Contact her at 916-541-5565.
Cost is $15 per person, or two for $25. Tickets can be bought from Beni, Stacy Hembree at 530-318-2362 or from Kellee Koeppen at kelleekoeppen@gmail.com.
