Wine & Cheesecake for a Cure at Galen Glen Winery
Winery Hosts Eighth Annual Event to Benefit The American Cancer Society
On Saturday, April 29 from noon to 4 pm, Dr. Rosalee Rehrig and her Relay for Life Team will partner with the staff at Galen Glen Winery in Andreas for their eighth annual Cheesecake for a Cure event to benefit The American Cancer Society. Guests to the winery can purchase slices of homemade cheese cake to pair with a glass of wine while they drink in the beauty of the vineyard. All proceeds from cheesecake sales are donated.
In addition, the winery is donating one dollar from every bottle sold during the event. Galen Glen's winemaker, Sarah C. Rhodes-Troxell states, "Cancer strikes without discern across all races and creeds. Everyone knows someone who has or had cancer. Galen Glen is proud to partner with The American Cancer Society and support the scientists who search for a cure."
When asked why she started this event, Dr. Rosalee Rehrig stated, "As a doctor, I see patients with cancer every day. I've lost a good friend to cancer and I hope for a future where I never have to say, 'you have cancer.'" She continues highlighting, "our friend Sandy is our inspiration. She was a great friend who passed within months of learning she had a brain tumor. If there were more treatments, maybe she could have been saved." Rhodes-Troxell and Rehrig encourage all to visit the winery during the event.
The event is held rain or shine and no reservations are required. Rehrig adds, "a piece of cheesecake and a glass of wine are the perfect way to enjoy any day." Tasting Room Manager, Kathy Matson, quips, "It's just what the doctor ordered. This year, cancer has impacted several members of our winery family in some way. A member of my family is fighting now. I pray for a cure." When asked why this event has continued for eight years, Rehrig notes, "the success of this event year after year has helped us raise tens of thousands of dollars to help others. We are thankful for the support of the winery and it's guests."
