Duke Cancer Center Raleigh embraced the skills of the team members to raise money and awareness in the fight against lung cancer in a unique way. The team hosted a Virtual Art Gala Fundraiser on Friday, September 3 featuring several works of art from members of the Duke Raleigh Hospital team. All donated pieces were auctioned off, raising a total of $2,220 for Team Duke PNEUMO-Uno in the Lung Cancer Initative of North Carolina’s 15th annual Triangle LUNGe Forward 2 Mile Walk & Celebration.
Jessica Beck, a thoracic nurse navigator at Duke Cancer Center Raleigh also donated to the virtual auction, including a sweater she crocheted. “I find joy in making and giving something to others as a way to show how much I care for them,” Beck shared.
