Fight Against Cancer Dance
2011 date to be determined
Pete and Richard Morrissette
They danced the night away at the 25th “Fight Against Cancer Dance” in memory of Pete and Richard Morrissette. The Morrissette Family launched this event in 1986, in memory of Pete, who lost his battle with cancer in 1985. The dance has been in memory of both family members since Richard lost his battle with cancer in 2000.
The dance has continued to grow each year. It not only raises money for Dana-Farber, but also enables friends and family members to keep the memories of Pete and Richard alive in their hearts and minds. So far, it has raised just under $123,000 for Dana-Farber.
The evening included dancing to music provided by a disc jockey as well as a huge opportunity drawing. Past prizes included sports tickets, bikes, gifts baskets and gift certificates as well as handmade blankets, quilts, and scarves.
All proceeds from tickets to the dance and opportunity drawing benefit Dana-Farber in the memory of Pete and Richard.
