Once upon a time there was a brave little boy who was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a form of infancy and childhood cancer. He called cancer the beast. He thought that if he was tough enough he could defeat the beast, so when he would go to chemo he would dress as a pirate and he'd go in and hold up his play sword and say"KILL THE BEAST!" The little boy fough...t many battles in the war on cancer, but in the end he was no match for the beast.

September 9, we will take up the fight with the beast for our little hero and for all Americans who have fought the beast! Come out after work for the first KILL the BEAST Happy Hour fundraiser to benefit ACS CAN at the Midtown Loft in DC.

The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is the advocacy affiliate of the American Cancer Society that educates Congress and lobbies on behalf of cancer patients and survivors at the federal, state and local levels. It depends on memberships and donations to fund its campaigns.

Join us as we party for a cause while helping raise money to fight the beast on Capitol Hill.

The Midtown Loft, located on the third floor of 1219 Connecticut Avenue, NW, is Washington, DC's first entertainment parlor. There is no cover to attend. Just order a drink and ACS CAN will receive a donation for every drink you buy. All attendees will have the opportunity to win luxurious items gifted by our sponsors.

If ONE American can get cancer, then a whole nation can rise up and defeat it together as ONE. To learn more about ACS CAN, become a volunteer, or join our movement to defeat the beast, please visit our website at www.acscan.org.
