Our origins:

Audrey Alvarado and Gail Y. Paskind are grateful patients of several Chicago area oncology department medical centers.  As head & neck cancer patients, they, together with Karen Dinelli, decided to honor their physicians by fundraising for cancer research and assisting in the future care of all Head & Neck cancer patients in the continuous battle of this disease. 

We hope our efforts will increase public awareness and promote support for the Head & Neck Cancer community. All monies raised and donations will be allocated to the Head & Neck surgical and medical oncology departments of hospitals, universities and medical centers. We also donate to organizations who have the same mission of assisting patients diagnosed with Head & Neck Cancer and are coping with the long term side effects of  its often difficult treatment.
