What people are saying about Treads & Threads

"The charity aspect of Treads & Threads is a given. My expectations for the event were for great food, a very fun atmosphere, good drinks, great live entertainment. It has always met my expectations."

"The guests at Treads & Threads are just high quality, great people."

"We first attended when I worked for one of the sponsors in 2003 and we have returned every year since."

Treads & Threads is an extraordinary party with an even more extraordinary purpose. It helps provide more options - which means more hope - to patients fighting the battles of their lives against cancer.

Proceeds from Treads & Threads 2009 will help expand The University of Kansas Hospital’s Blood and Marrow Transplant Apheresis Unit so it can provide lifesaving treatments to a greater number of patients with lymphoma, leukemia and other blood cancers.

Proceeds also will help create an appearance center in the Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Care Pavilion that will help cancer patients restore their self-image – and become whole again. In addition, Treads & Threads proceeds will establish a fund to assist uninsured and underinsured patients who can benefit from products and services the appearance center will offer.

Previous years' proceeds have funded state-of-the-art technology for breast cancer and prostate cancer patients; staffing, educational materials and furnishings for two new resource centers for patients and their families; renovated patient waiting areas in radiation oncology and much more.
