The benefit is an evening of fun, good spirits and culinary delights prepared by local male celebrities in support of the Lewisburg facility’s Thyra M. Humphreys Center for Breast Health. The event, held at the Susquehanna Valley Country Club in Selinsgrove, attracted nearly 400 guests and raised $23,000 toward the fight against breast cancer.
