Dancing, Eating and Drinking – How Courtney Raised Funds for NMF
On Saturday, May 12, 2018, Courtney Green Nichols hosted her own event to benefit Nikki Mitchell Foundation. NMF’s mission is important and personal to her, as her father Glenn Green, passed away from pancreatic cancer earlier this year. She hosted the event in his honor, in order to “do him proud.”
The event held at County Line Swinging Doors in Lebanon Junction, KY was jam-packed with live music by the band Salt River, who rocked out on a newly built stage. They also had a pig roast, a 50/50 raffle and another raffle of goodies donated by local companies. There was dancing and karaoke until the owner kicked them out! This “tiny little bar, in a tiny town” raised enough funds to give:
- 9 pancreatic cancer patients groceries for a month OR
- 1 patient groceries for 9 months OR
- Utilities for 4 patients for a month OR
- An educational grant for a junior researcher at John Hopkins.
You too can host your own event to raise funds for pancreatic cancer awareness, research and patients! We can’t thank Courtney and all those who helped, supported and donated to her, and in return, to Nikki Mitchell Foundation!
