The Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund (BPF) is calling all to join us at the “starting gate” for a Night At The Races. The BPF is hosting this exciting fundraiser on Saturday, May 18, 2024, at Good Shephard Parish Hall in Port Matilda, PA. The doors open at 6:00 P.M. with the horse racing action beginning at 7:00 P.M. Purchase your tickets online at https://bob-perks-cancer-assistance-fund.square.site/ or call 814-231-2692. Tickets for the event are $40.00 per person and include dinner and unlimited beverages. Tables of six, eight or ten are available for your group. Sponsorship opportunities are available. A professional race caller will be the emcee for the evening and is sure to provide heart-throbbing, action-filled entertainment. We hope everyone will attend the Night At The Races on May 18, 2024 to support our local cancer community.

Since our inception, BPF has raised over 2.7 million dollars to support local cancer patients to pay essential living expenses. For patients receiving this support, it offers a lifeline to cover many of their basic needs, often preventing eviction and utility shutoffs so they may focus on treatment and recovery.

In 2006, BPF was founded in memory of Bob Perks, a State College native, who passed in 2005 after a long battle with melanoma. The BPF helps ease the financial burden of cancer patients who live in Blair, Centre, Clearfield, Huntingdon, Juniata, and Mifflin Counties.
