Avenue Kitchen & Bar to host fundraisers for colon cancer research

The Avenue Kitchen & Bar is working to raise funds for colon cancer research and the Kimmel Cancer Center with a fundraiser series launching on Aug. 7.

The series honors restaurant owner Patrick Dahlgren, who recently began his chemotherapy treatment at Johns Hopkins after being diagnosed with colon cancer.

Dahlgren is known for his generosity to his community and his dedication to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society over the years, so it is important that the community embodies Dahlgren’s values, said Todd Yuhanick, spokesperson for The Avenue Kitchen & Bar.

“Patrick has given so much to our community, and now it’s our turn to give back,” Yuhanick said. “We invite everyone to join us in this fight against colon cancer and help make a difference in the lives of those affected by this disease.”

The restaurant will host various events that feature special menus, entertainment and opportunities for guests to contribute to the cause.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to the Kimmel Cancer Center in advancing their research and treatment programs. For more information about this cause, visit avenuekitchenbar.com.
