BBQ cancer fundraiser at Treasure Cove Casino

Employees at the Treasure Cove Casino are rallying around three coworkers recently diagnosed with cancer.

Tomorrow (Friday) from 5 to 7 p.m. In the parking lot of the casino in Prince George, there will be a barbecue by donation and live entertainment.

Amanda Chandler Marketing Manager for the casino said all the people affected are currently off work undergoing treatment.

“Good friends of ours have all been diagnosed in the last three months from different cancers. Two of our girls were diagnosed with breast cancer, and one of our casino site managers was diagnosed with lung cancer,”

Chandler said all the money will be split up between the three employees as well as a donation to the Prince George Cancer Clinic to purchase head scarves and wigs.

She added that even if you don’t want a hot dog, two women will also be there shaving their heads in support.

“So many of our patrons who know them asked how they could help so we decided to throw the fundraiser.”
