July 29, 2009 | 0 comments

Do you know someone whose life has been touched by cancer?

 

Have you or your family experienced the roller coaster of emotions and challenges associated with cancer?

 

If you are a cancer survivor or if your life has been touched by cancer, you are invited to join us on Sunday, August 23, to celebrate life! The “Love for Life Benefit for Beccee Smith-Kujawa” is being organized by the friends of the Smith-Kujawa family.

 

This family friendly event will run from 10 am until 8 pm and the festivities will be located at Roosevelt Field and Park (located at 700 S. Main Street, Oconomowoc WI 53066).

 

A 100% of all proceeds generated at this benefit will go to the Smith-Kujawa family in order to cover the mounting medical bills for Beccee’s treatment.

 

Beccee Smith-Kujawa is an Oconomowoc resident, professional artist (singer/song writer), wife and mother of two loving daughters. Currently Beccee is undergoing chemotherapy for Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

 

Even when Beccee is having a rough go of it (during chemotherapy) she has declared with steadfast resolved, that she will prevail over the cancer. Beccee is a 41 year old non smoker who has actively given back to the greater Oconomowoc community through volunteer activities with the Oconomowoc Newcomers and Neighbors club, Waukesha Women’s Center, Band Aid for Amy Fundraiser and the Crosspoint Community Church Worship Band.

 

Long time artist friends, family members and Oconomowoc neighbors and friends of the Smith-Kujawa family are working together to plan the “Love for Life Benefit”.

 

The event activities include; live music, family friendly live entertainment, beer and wine tent, bounce houses, educational demonstrations, Oconomowoc children’s Idol contest, silent and live auction, local merchant’s services and products and much more!
