The Colorectal Cancer Alliance is pleased to host their sweet signature event – the 8th Annual Cookies4Chris Luncheon and Vendor Show - on Sunday April 8, 2018 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. at South Hills Country Club, 4305 Brownsville Road, in Pittsburgh.

Cookies for Cancer
Cookies for Chris Luncheon

The cookie table is a longtime tradition at Pittsburgh weddings. Guests are treated to a selection of homemade cookies lovingly baked by family and friends as a personal thank you. This event was created in honor of Christine “Chris” Sapienza, a Pittsburgh native, loving wife, mother, musician and small business owner who touched many lives and lost her battle with colon cancer in 2009. Chris was well known for sharing her specialty treats at many such occasions.

Chris’ son, Michael Sapienza, is the president and CEO of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. For weeks leading up to the Cookies4Chris event, Pittsburgh residents spend countless hours baking, decorating and coordinating thousands of hand crafted treats that will create the elaborate cookie display. Last year, approximately 360 dozen cookies were made for the event.

The luncheon will also include local vendors, auctions, live entertainment, and door prizes. Tabitha Cavanagh is this year’s Ambassador of Hope and guest colon cancer survivor. Pittsburgh native Shelley Duffy will emcee the event. Last year’s event sold out weeks prior, attracting more than 300 guests.

Proceeds from the event will help support the work of Dr. Edward Chu and his colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer institute for their research efforts and development of novel treatment strategies for colorectal cancer.

Over the past seven years, Cookies4Chris has raised over $175,000 to further colorectal cancer research and awareness, and more importantly, through its education and encouragement efforts, has saved lives.
