Raise Money For Pancreatic Research

On Sunday, Nov. 5, Sky Foundation Inc. will host
its Ninth Annual Lunch at the MGM Grand Hotel
to raise money for pancreatic cancer research and
education.
Led by Sheila Sky Kasselman, a 10-year pancreatic
cancer survivor, Sky Foundation is dedicated to
helping people better understand this devastating
disease and finding ways to improve early detection.
This event is held in November during Pancreatic
Cancer Awareness month. Their biggest fundrais-
ing event of the year features entertainment, silent
and live auctions and features a dedicated giving

pledge from the crowd, which will be matched up to
$100,000.
“Raising awareness is the most satisfying part
of what we do,” says Kasselman. “Nobody knows
about this disease. We’re trying to educate and help
get people diagnosed early. We want to help them
understand when to go to a gastroenterologist, and
we want them to know what needs to be done if
they have a family history of the disease.”
Individual tickets are $125 and available at sky-
foundationinc.org. Sponsorships also are still avail-
able for interested businesses and individuals. •
