Cancer
League Extravaganza Benefits Stehlin Foundation
The Cancer
League, benefiting cancer research institutions, held the
23rd Christmas Extravaganza and raised $35,000 for the Stehlin
Foundation. The celebration was held Dec. 14 at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel.
"The Cancer League is committed to supporting cancer
research and related advances taking place in Houston,"
said Dorace Allais, Cancer League founder. "The Stehlin
Foundation has been a beneficiary since the first Extravaganza
and we are delighted to contribute more this year."
The Cancer League has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the Stehlin Foundation over the past 23 years. Inspired
by Dr. Stehlin's patient care philosophy, the group also became
dedicated volunteers in the cancer unit at CHRISTUS St. Joseph
Hospital. They brought in bands to play for patients, painted
the walls of the cancer unit and created the Sunshine Cart.
Volunteers push the Sunshine Cart and provide patients with
items such as books, candy and toothpaste.
