Please join the Cancer Caring Center at HIP HAVANA NIGHTS as we celebrate our 30th Anniversary of providing FREE supportive services to cancer patients and families on Thursday, June 20 at the Flashlight Factory on the North Side. Our Cuban-themed event will feature music, dancing, magic, Shutterbooth, and of course flavorful cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.

We will also briefly recognize our 3 founding and current board members - Dr. Stanley Marks, UPMC Hillman Cancer Center Chairman, Joe Gordon, Pittsburgh Steelers Communications Director (retired) and Ray Vinson, Burger King Franchisees (retired).

Step into Havana for a fun and sultry summer evening!
