Kara Walkowsky-Krenz, a longtime South Beach resident, recently underwent a lumpectomy on one of her breasts and was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer.
Kara is about to begin 16 weeks of chemotherapy in hopes of targeting any straggling cells, with radiation to follow.
Friends have banded together to raise money to help with expenses for her and her children.
A benefit will be held this Saturday, Aug. 3 from 6 – 10 p.m. at Cranberry Road Winery in Westport. There will be both a live and silent auction, a taco feed, raffle items and live music by David Andersen and Vaughn Johannes.
Anyone interested in contributing to the auctions can contact Lolly Brown at 435- 232-8525 or Jamie Dilley at 360- 593-3277 to make arrangements for delivery or pick-up of your item(s).
Cranberry Road Winery is located on the corner of S. Forrest Street and SR105 at the Grayland ‘T’.
