Join family, friends and other supporters for 'Cathie's Cancer Relief Fundraiser' on October 15, 2016 at Pinstripes in South Barrington

Cathie Cook, owner of Pinot's Palette, which is also in South Barrington, has been battling cancer since 2011. The wife and mother of two is facing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cancer that has spread around her lymph nodes and abdominal area.

"I've known Cathie for years, and she is a huge contribution to this planet. We need to stand together to help her in this battle," said Anita Meyers, a friend and supporter.

In addition to the treatments creating an extremely high health risk for Cook, they also will take a serious financial toll - much of her treatment will not be covered by insurance.

Due to this, a group of people who support her are hosting a fundraiser to help ease the financial burden on Cook and her family. A buffet lunch in planned, along with bocce ball during the fundraiser where 100-percent of the proceeds will be donated to Cook.

"Cathie continually leads with love in her life; the community benefits from people like her," said Jenel Marunde, another friend and supporter.

The fundraiser will be held from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 15 at Pinstripes, 100 W. Higgins Road, South Barrington. Tickets are $40 for adults and $20 for children ages 6-12. Under 5 will be free.
