Join us for our 7th annual Kate's Shots & Shenanigans! Last year was a day full of golf, fun, laughter, great food, tons of raffles and a silent auction! We are excited to continue the shenanigans again this year in honor of Kate to raise much needed funds for The Cure Starts Now to find the HomeRun Cure to all cancers!
Kate loved being surrounded by her family, friends and community – and we cannot think of a better way to gather together - with tons of fun and laughs!
In order to prepare ahead of time for food and beverage, carts, etc. we are requiring pre-registration. Register before July 19 for the early-bird registration discount.
The Cure Starts Now is a non-profit organization raising funds for pediatric brain cancer research – with less than 3% overhead! This means your donation goes straight to the researchers, where the most innovative and talented professionals are making strides to finding the cure for not just DIPG, but ALL cancers! The Cure Starts Now is looking for the Homerun Cure™. It is believed that if we can find the treatment for the biggest cancer bully, pediatric brain tumors, that we can find the treatment for all types of cancer.
We can’t wait to see you on August 22nd!

The Central Massachusetts Chapter of The Cure Starts Now was started in honor of Kate Arpano. She was diagnosed with DIPG on August 16, 2014. She fought with bravery and strength for 17 months. In her all too short six years here on Earth, Kate inspired so many with her love for life, compassion towards others, and her endless silliness. She loved playing with her little sister, dancing, playing silly jokes, school, cooking, shopping and cats. Kate taught everyone that there is always time to stop to smell the flowers, to find joy in every single day, and to do good for others. Her belly giggles, contagious smile and big hugs are missed every day.
