OUT OF THE ORDINARY 2018 – Recap

Friday the 13th of July was anything but spooky as nearly 80 friends, clients and supporters of Cancer Lifeline gathered at Bellevue Botanical Garden for the second annual Out of the Ordinary Event. With onsite gifts and a board and advisory board match, ticket sales and sponsorships, over $37,000 was raised in one night!

Our new Eastside event at  Bellevue Botanical Garden, Out of the Ordinary, raised funding to provide services to 100 clients! Our generous donors gathered on June 23rd to We are pleased to have been able to share with you Cancer Lifeline’s role in annually providing support services free-of-charge to nearly 4,000 Eastsiders who are living with cancer.

Michelle Winery, Dry Sparkling, Suzie Haller, Hollywood Schoolhouse Bistro, Lagunitas Brewing Company, Market Vineyards, Pearl, and The Pike Brewing Company.

More importantly, Out of the Ordinary was a joyful event because we were able to connect with friends, patients and caregivers on the Eastside and talk about what we’re doing every day: providing education, emotional support and financial assistance to people affected by a cancer diagnosis. Since last year we’ve added Overlake Hospital and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance’s Proton Therapy Center to our list of growing community partners which includes Evergreen Health, Valley Medical Center and Northwest Hospital, making Cancer Lifeline services more accessible than ever before.
