Leelanau Cancer Foundation to host ‘A Gala of Grace’

The Leelanau Cancer Foundation (LCCF) is set to host “A Gala of Grace: Compassion for Families with Cancer” on June 26 at French Valley Winery to raise funds for families and individuals grappling with the emotional, physical, and financial challenges of cancer.

LCCF Board Chair Terry Gremel said the gala is a change from the nonprofit’s normal annual fundraising event, La-Tea-Da High Tea, and is hoping this new event reaches more people.

“We’ve never done a gala before, for years we’ve done the La-Tea-Da High Tea in June… so we decided that we’d do something inclusive of many people — couples, singles — for more of a community event,” Gremel said.
