Some of Tulsa’s finest chefs cooked up some great food for a great cause as a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The “a-taste-of” style event was hosted by the Cancer Treatment Centers (CTCA) and raised more than $7,700.
Just prior to the event, CTCA dedicated its new fountain in front of the hospital. The fountain, created by artist Rosalind Cook, features a live oak tree and bronze sculptures of the boy and dog from CTCA’s logo.
“As a presenting sponsor of the Tulsa Komen Race for the Cure, CTCA shares the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation’s promise to fight breast cancer,” said Denise Geuder, CTCA vice president of patient care services. “Like the Komen Foundation, we believe the patient should fully participate in their treatment decisions. And with Komen, we hope that one day, women everywhere will be empowered to become their own best advocates.”
