Ballroom Blitz! Art Walk & Gathering In Support Of Cancer Care

The fourth annual Ballroom Blitz! Art Walk & Gathering, in support of Enliven Cancer Care, will take place on August 20 from 2-4 p.m. at Grandview Golf Club.

“Enliven Cancer Care provides information, a sense of community and a wide variety of programs that enable those living with a cancer diagnosis in Muskoka, their families and caregivers to live engaged and fulfilled lives,” said Carrie Campbell, Chair of the Board of Directors for Enliven Cancer Care.

“All of our programs are provided at no charge, and recently, many of our programs are oversubscribed due to the overwhelming demand in Muskoka. Since we are entirely funded by grants, philanthropy and fundraising events, our ability to offer our programs is entirely dependent on the success of raising funds from the community through events like the Ballroom Blitz.”

The event includes a silent and live art auction, and attendees can expect art works from over 30 local artists, representing various media including oil, watercolour, pottery and weaving.

Proceeds from the event will be invested in programs to support those in Muskoka living with a cancer diagnosis, their caregivers and families.

“We can’t overstate that the need in Muskoka is great. Everyone is impacted by cancer, either personally, through a spouse, child, parent, sibling or friend,” said Campbell.
