Funky Music With A Mission
On the evening of August 27th, Robert D'Angelo, a resident of Chatfield Farms in Beacon Falls, together with his wife Jeanne and the band he belongs to, Bales & Gitlin Music, held a fundraiser to benefit HLRCC. Mr. D'Angelo, a cancer survivor who was treated at HLRCC, spearheaded this event with the help of the Chatfield Farms events committee. Many people wore ’60s and ’70s themed attire to go along with the music played that evening. Deborah Parkinson, HLRCC Interim Executive Director/Operations Director, was honored to speak at the event about HLRCC and how donations are used. Over 90 couples and families gave donations totaling over $6,500!
A Decade of Support
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Watertown Police Department, which held its 10th annual “Teeing Off for the Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center” Golf Tournament on October 3, 2025. Over the past nine years, this event has raised more than $160,000 to benefit Leever patients, helping them access world-class treatment and supportive care.
