Come on up to Sugarloaf with me for The Sugarloaf Charity Summit, and Its mission is to raise a mountain of money to fight cancer! This year the event benefited three organizations that are working to improve the lives of Mainers fighting cancer, The Dempsey Center, The Maine Cancer Foundation, and The Martha B. Webber Breast Care Center at Franklin Memorial Hospital.  The Sugarloaf Charity Summit brings together patients, survivors, family and friends that have lost someone close to them to cancer, health care providers, policy makers, and a few Maine made celebrities to raise money to fight cancer.
