Gourmet Gala May 4 to benefit North Shore Cancer WALK

Fundraiser features area restaurants serving top shelf food

Join Billy Costa from Kiss 108 at this year's North Shore Cancer WALK Gourmet Gala on Friday, May 4th, from 6 to 9 p.m., at Acura of Peabody, 233 Andover Street, Peabody. Twenty restaurants and food vendors will be offering samples of their signature dishes. Live and silent auctions and other surprises will highlight the evening. Early bird ticket prices are $60 until April 13 at which time they will be $75. Proceeds will be used for a new surgical robot that will bring advanced technology for prostate cancer surgery as well as benefit oncology services at North Shore Medical Center and the Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center, such as clinical trials and wellness care. Up to $1 million in funds raised for the robot will be matched by a private donor, doubling the benefit of your contribution to North Shore patients and their families.
