Outdoor concert to raise funds for metastatic breast cancer

Grab your beach chairs and head to Lake Village on Monday, June 26 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to hear Ike & Martin at an outdoor benefit concert fundraiser for METAvivor, a non-profit organization who directs 100% of donations to metastatic breast cancer.

Enjoy the popular Lake Tahoe duo, good food and good friends as money is raised to fund research that will save lives, lives of residents like former South Lake Tahoe OB/GYN Kelly Shanahan and former teacher Renee Gorevin.

Tickets are $20, and if purchased by June 14 a free raffle ticket is included. The event will take place outside on Holly Lane.

If you know someone who has died from breast cancer, they died from metastatic breast cancer. “Metastatic” means the cancer has escaped the breast and traveled to distant sites, like bones, lungs, liver, or brain. Cancer that stays in the breast does not kill. Approximately 6 – 10 percent of initial breast cancer diagnosis are metastatic, and approximately 28 percent of women and men with early stage breast cancer will become metastatic. The median life expectancy after a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer is only 33 months, and in 2017 over 41,000 Americans will die due to metastatic breast cancer.

METAvivor, a non-profit organization with a volunteer board (many of whom have metastatic breast cancer themselves), has funded $2.4 million to vital research to the disease.
