The Pittsburgh Metsquerade
will take place on
Sunday, April 23, 2022
All Proceeds benefiting Metavivor, supporting metastatic breast cancer research, support, and advocacy
Join usfor a fundraiser with dancing, dinner, and auctions. All proceeds support research improving the quantity and quality of life of people living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
The 2022 Pittsburgh Metsquerade is lovingly dedicated in memory of Laura Williams, Roberta L. Szpara, Bindy Koontz, Lori Czyzewski Haberstroh, Andrea Dimond, and Jill Griffin; who all fought tirelessly for MBC research.
More than 40,000 men and women from the United States die each year from metastatic breast cancer, yet only five to ten percent of cancer-related funding goes toward research for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
METAvivor is a volunteer-led, non-profit organization promoting awareness, offering support, and funding vital research to improve the longevity and quality of life of MBC patients.
Meet our MBC community: Take a look into the lives of people who are living with metastatic breast cancer and help us remember and honor those who have passed away.
