U Can-Cer Vive, powered by Team LaFontaine, is working with the Angels of Hope to raise money to help Michigan families fight cancer.
Highland, Michigan: On June 5, 2015 the U Can-Cer Vive 9 & Wine is being held at Fountains Golf and Banquet to benefit the Angels of Hope. This event is the culmination of a larger effort to raise $250,000 for the Angels of Hope and with collected donations already totaling over $55,000, the fundraising campaign is off to a great start.
With golf, dinner and a party featuring live music from Annabelle Road, you’ll quickly realize that the 9 & Wine is not your typical fundraiser.
Kelley LaFontaine, co-founder of U Can-Cer Vive, tells us what makes the 9 & Wine a special event,
The theme of our event, Kicking Cancer Country Style, puts an emphasis on our guests having a fun and enjoyable time while raising money to support such an amazing organization like Angels of Hope.
Guests who attend the 9 & Wine are encouraged to dress the part and embrace the country music style theme to the party.

About U Can-Cer Vive
U Can-Cer Vive is an organization founded by Ryan & Kelley LaFontaine in 2014 who’s mission it is to provide funds directly to Michigan based cancer research facilities and local families fighting cancer.
The organization continues the tradition that began with Team LaFontaine in 2010 when Ryan and Kelley began working annually with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society after Ryan was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. During their partnership, Team LaFontaine raised over one-million dollars for the LLS.
