Cross Out Cancer: Supper Club on the Shore, presented by Serpentini Auto Group was held on Tuesday, July 26 at Shoreby Club. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the event’s sponsors and guests, $290,000 was raised to support immunotherapy research and care.

Inspired by the cancer journey of Mary Ann Cross, funds raised from Cross Out Cancer will advance immunotherapy research and program development for cancer and blood disorder patients at Angie Fowler Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Institute at UH Rainbow Babies & Children's and the Wesley Center for Immunotherapy at UH Seidman Cancer Center. Since 2019, Cross Out Cancer has raised more than $630,000 for immunotherapy at University Hospitals.

 

Led by honorary chairs Char and Chuck Fowler and event co-chairs Linda Grdina-Masten and Geoff Masten and Ryan Cross, it was a beautiful event with dinner and cocktails on the shore of Lake Erie.

The event was hosted by event emcee Betsy Kling, Chief Meteorologist and 5 p.m. Anchor at WKYC TV-3. Event attendees enjoyed a special musical performance from Broadway veteran and Cleveland native Betsy Werbel and Cleveland's beloved and accomplished musician Mike Petrone.
