Benefit To Aid Royerford Girl, Daughter Of Paramedic, Fighting Cancer

A "pay what you want" benefit for a local family whose young daughter is fighting cancer will be hosted at a local eatery in November.

The benefit for 13-year-old Corrine Hare, a Royersford native, will take place at The Hattery Stove in Doylestown on Wednesday, November 16 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Corrine was diagnosed with osteosarcoma last year. Proceeds will try to help defray her family’s medical expenses.

“We decided to add a Half Rack of Baby Back Ribs to our lineup of delicious burgers because ribs are one of Corrine’s favorite foods,” said The Hattery’s General Manager and Executive Chef Billy Gilbo.

The fifth oldest of six children, Corrine was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a painful bone cancer after doctors discovered a large tumor on her sacrum which is located at the base of her spine, her family said.

Her father, Steve, has been a long-time employee of Central Bucks EMS.

“We are very appreciative that The Hattery will be hosting a benefit for Corrine. Our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and even people we've never met have overwhelmed us with love and support since Corrine was diagnosed,” he said.

Diners can choose from five burgers in addition to the Baby Back Ribs, which come glazed with House Pineapple BBQ Sauce and served with French fries and Kohlrabi Cole Slaw.

The Hattery Stove & Still’s burgers include: House Blend – Black Angus Blend of Sirloin & Chuck; Pierre – Boursin Cheese & Caramelized Onions; Main St. – Gruyere & Bacon, topped with a Fried Egg; Kennett Square – Mixed Mushrooms & Gorgonzola; and a Tuna Burger – Grilled Rare Tuna, Truffle Honey, Asian Slaw & Sriracha Aioli.

The Hattery is located on 18 W State St in Doylestown.
