Cancer Dancer Gala 2014

Join the Esophageal Cancer Action Network (ECAN) for an
evening filled
with all the glitz of Tinseltown. Special guest will be Bogie & Bacall’s son, Stephen
Bogart, who
has taped public service announcements and a film trailer to encourage early
detection and raise awareness about the link between heartburn and cancer.

As
a nod to Bogie and old Hollywood, this black-tie
optional fundraiser is design to feature “all the stuff that dreams are made
of.” The celebration kicks off with flashbulbs popping along the red
carpet and
continues with cocktails, a seated dinner, dancing, auctions and swag bags.

Emcee
will be Scott Garceau, host of “The Scott Garceau Show” on Baltimore’s 105.7
The Fan.
Event co-chairs are Mark and Karen Schwartzman, owners of Glen Burnie
Transmissions.
Mark is an ECAN board member who, like Stephen Bogart, lost his father to
Esophageal Cancer.

Event
proceeds will help ECAN save lives by increasing awareness about the link between
heartburn and cancer,
promoting early detection and supporting medical innovation to prevent, detect and
treat Esophageal Cancer − one of the nation’s fastest growing cancer
diagnoses.

A national
non-profit organization, based in Baltimore, ECAN is led by a board of directors of top
physicians, business leaders and families that have been touched by Esophageal
Cancer. Mindy Mintz Mordecai founded ECAN in 2009 after losing her husband
and the father of her two young daughters to the disease. Angry and frustrated
because she believes that her husband and thousands more like him might never
have died had they been aware of the link between heartburn and cancer,
Mordecai is determined to prevent others from suffering the pain Esophageal
Cancer has caused her family.
