Late notice, I know, but I only just saw this myself via Kina (in Baker City, no less): The Dara Hatcher Foundation Fundraising Auction:

Tuesday, March 11, 2007, 5-8 p.m.

Deschutes Brewery, Brewing facility & Mountain room
901 SW Simpson Ave.
Bend, Oregon

Join us at the Deschutes Brewery for a selection of their world-class beers donated for this very special event. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be provided.

$20 donation, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Dara Hatcher Foundation. Come for the cause and discover some great auction items!

Funds raised this evening will help enable Dara and Dante to remain in their home, cover Dara’s COBRA payments, and assist with the payment of her mounting medical bills.

Dara Hatcher is a single mom raising an eight year old son (Dante), and she was recently diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. She had a successful surgery but now faces mountains of medical bills and still has months of treatment ahead of her.

Definitely a good cause, and there are other ways to donate, as well. Check out the website for more info.
