Proceeds benefit the Merida Children With Cancer Project. Tickets (350 pesos in advance) can be purchased at any Merida IWC function, at Robert Abuda Salon, Paseo Montejo x 37 y 39, Tuesday through Saturday, or by calling Beth 999-171-6852 in English or Irma 999-290-5779 in Spanish.

The IWC visits, with special permission, the children cancer ward at the O’Horan Hospital weekly to provide the children with activity books, crayons or colored pencils, a hot wheel car or handmade toys, and handmade hats. The infants’ parents receive storybooks. Members also purchase liquid medications for the infants who would otherwise go home without it.

Dinner and one draft or a basic mixed drink are included. Rock and roll provided by the Twangs. Costumes are not required.
