We Did It—$1.4M Raised for Local Cancer Care!
Beer & Bites 2025:
A Record Year of Hope & Impact
Dear South Sound CARE Community,
What an incredible night! Thanks to your generosity and community spirit, Beer & Bites 2025 raised an astounding $1.4 million to advance cancer research and expand access to life-saving clinical trials right here in the South Sound.
Your support goes far beyond the numbers—it brings hope, healing, and life-saving care to families across our community.
That care has already made a profound difference for people like Adeline and Krystal, whose lives have been forever changed through research, collaboration, and compassionate care made possible by you.
Adeline’s Story:
When Adeline was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in 2022, her future felt uncertain. With support from South Sound CARE Foundation, she joined a compassionate use trial for NEO100—an opportunity that changed everything. Adeline responded remarkably well, and after 34 treatment cycles, her tumor has nearly disappeared. Today, she’s running, traveling, and cherishing every moment with her family.
Krystal’s Story:
At just 37, Krystal was diagnosed with stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer and faced the unimaginable. Her oncologist, Dr. Sibel Blau, connected with Dr. Frank Senecal, who was leading a promising clinical trial, and together they enrolled Krystal within four days—a partnership that opened the door to life-changing treatment. Today, Krystal is cancer-free—living each day with gratitude and renewed joy.
“Without this care, I probably wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t have the zest for life that I have now.” - Krystal
Whether you attended, bid online, volunteered, sponsored, or simply spread the word—you helped bring hope home for patients like Adeline and Krystal.

With deepest gratitude,
The South Sound CARE Foundation
