A beloved Amador County tradition is back. The Amador Cancer Research Foundation will host its annual Fall Gathering at the Ranch on Sept. 26 at scenic Casino Mine Ranch in Plymouth. The event will raise funds to support leading-edge research at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. Last year’s gathering brought in an impressive $60,000 and organizers hope to build on that momentum.
Proceeds from the fundraiser benefit the Christine and Helen Landgraf Memorial Fund, which awards annual research grants to UC Davis cancer researchers. The fund was established by John and Helen Landgraf in memory of their daughter, Christine, who died of Hodgkin’s disease in 1971 at the age of 27.
In the wake of their loss, the Landgrafs committed themselves to making a difference for others facing cancer. What began in 1973 as a small, family-supported effort gradually grew into a lasting legacy to raise money for the Landgraf Award, annual grants given to cancer center researchers.
Guests at the Fall Gathering will enjoy wine, appetizers and the relaxed ranch setting while bidding on an array of silent and live auction items.
