Annual Women’s Event Supports Pancreatic Cancer Research

Sky Foundation, Inc. will present its 15th Annual Women’s Event at Bloomfield Hills Country Club on Wednesday, May 10th at 5:30 pm. This event will include a Panel Discussion with a Michigan Medicine Genetic Counselor from the University of Michigan, a Gastroenterologist from Henry Ford Health, and a Pancreatic Cancer Researcher from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School.

Event features include a 52-Card Raffle for a $1,000 Gift Card to Somerset Collection (donated by The Forbes Company), cocktail hour, raffle baskets, followed by a formal dinner and program. All proceeds support the nonprofit’s mission to raise awareness and fund research for pancreatic cancer.

“The Women’s Event educates the community on this hard-to-diagnose and harder-to-treat cancer” said Sheila Sky Kasselman, 16-year pancreatic cancer survivor and Sky Foundation’s Founder. At this event, Sky will highlight its beloved founder who passed away on February 25, 2023, with a video tribute at the conclusion of the event.

The pancreatic cancer survival rate has increased to 12% in 2023. In recognition of this rising number, Sky invites survivors to attend the event for free. Tickets are $100 each, with table purchases for $1,000. All attendees will receive one free raffle ticket toward any raffle basket.
