Dear Friends, We thank you for your dedication to the well-being of thyroid cancer patients, and invite you to join us at our Dinner and "Casino Night" , with “play money” games (for fun, not for cash). This benefit evening is sponsored by ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivorsʼ Association in cooperation with Light of Life Foundation and the American Thyroid Association. It's all for a good cause – thyroid cancer research. This special event starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 16, 2005, at the Baltimore Waterfront Marriott Hotel, 700 Aliceanna Street, Baltimore, Maryland. Attire is casual. The hotel is also hosting ATA's Frontiers in Thyroid Cancer Meeting. The Dinner/Casino Night follows ThyCa's free one-day educational workshop on April 16 — ThyCaʼs 4th Annual Thyroid Cancer Survivorsʼ Mid-Atlantic Workshop. Tickets for the Dinner/Casino Night Fundraiser are payable by credit card or check to ThyCa. Your generosity beyond the dinner ticket cost is tax-deductible. Donations plus net proceeds from the benefit support thyroid cancer research.
