About Blue Water Little Black Dress
The Blue Water Little Black Dress event was established in 2007, with the purpose of raising funds for local Breast Cancer Programs.
In 2016, the Betty Kearns Cancer Fund was established to help both men and women fighting any type of cancer.
Currently, the Betty Kearns Cancer Fund has funds available at McLaren Port Huron and the Community Foundation of St. Clair County to assist local individuals in need.
We appreciate the community support we receive! With an increased number of patients in our area, and a state-of-the-art cancer facility and treatment center, we are hoping to be able to help even more families. Your contribution to the Little Black Dress event will only improve our efforts in easing financial burdens during treatment, allowing patients to focus on healing.
Thank you for all of your years of support!
~ The Blue Water Little Black Dress Board & Committee
The Betty Kearns Cancer Fund has made remarkable strides to help those in our community because of people like you! The following was accomplished because of the generosity and support of this community:
- Donated funds to purchase new equipment at McLaren Port Huron for the treatment/diagnosis of prostate cancer
- Establishing the Betty Kearns Cancer Fund at the St. Clair County Community Foundation which will directly help St. Clair and Sanilac County residents who may need treatment outside of our area, including pediatric patients
The Blue Water Little Black Dress event is a long-time community tradition – this year held at the Blue Water Convention Center on Friday, March 3, 2023 at 6:00 pm. We look forward to seeing everyone in person again!
