The “Why”
It all started with a doctor who was making a difference in cancer care and a community desire to bring important research to the South Sound — providing time for families and creating hope for those running out of options. Why do we host Beer & Bites? Ultimately, it’s because “No one should fight cancer alone.”
“At the South Sound CARE Foundation, they are extending lives. It’s a big deal. People are living longer, and they are seeing a chance for their kids to graduate…to build a relationship with their grandchildren. This whole idea of hope is huge, but when you add time… then it’s a big difference. There are some results attached to it.”
- Gordon Rush, Founder of The Rush Companies and Beer & Bites
