Join us for a very special evening of Women, Wine and Wisdom on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 and celebrate women’s courage, strength, friendships and even a few of our foibles.
The featured event of the evening is an award winning one-woman show starring actress Jonna Tamases, in her riotously entertaining, profoundly moving hour-long show where we enter the hilarious inner world of Jonna's Body, where a sassy receptionist fields calls from a parade of quirky body parts: Baby Toe trapped in a too-tight pump! Sgt. Coif leading a head full of unruly troops; Uta and Ula, begging to be released from their brassiere imprisonment! When two nasty killers invade, Jonna's Body must unite to fight for her life, in a heart-pounding battle that will leave you breathless with laughter and joy.
And what are we celebrating, and of course, fundraising for? It is not something you would normally consider a cause for celebration, but currently there are more cancer survivors in the United States than ever before…11 million and counting! In addition, we are lucky to have, right here in our community, one of the best comprehensive cancer centers in the world at the University of Colorado Cancer Center. Designated after stringent review processes by the National Cancer Institute, the UCCC is making great strides in cancer research, prevention, treatment and education.
Women, Wine and Wisdom will also include a pre-event “Girl Talk,” a Q&A with Dr. Virginia Borges, one of the pre-eminent researchers on pregnancy-related breast cancer from UCCC.
Tickets are $100 and registration is now open at www.amc.org or contact Frieda Sands at 303-239-3317.
