The Food Fight Against Cancer

Every year, thousands of people with leukemia and lymphoma travel to the world-class Texas Medical Center for life-saving treatments. The American Cancer society estimates that one third of all cancer related deaths in America might be diet-related. In addition, a recent review on diet and cancer estimates that up to 80 percent of cancers of the large bowel, breast, and prostate are due to dietary factors. The conclusion is fairly simple: embrace healthful and cancer fighting foods.

The Food Fight Against Cancer is an event that unites Houston's world-class cancer care with its amazing restaurant culture to give the gift of health and hospitality.

For one night, restaurants all over Houston will come together to showcase delicious, cancer-fighting foods. Each restaurant will create a special dish comprised of ingredients that are known to fight cancer and alleviate the many side effects of treatment and provide samples of that dish to ticket holders. Proceeds will be used to provide nourishing, health-supportive meals for out-of-town visitors living at the Halo House, a non-profit organization that provides affordable housing to blood-cancer patients during their treatment.

AND Food Fight guests will determine the winner of The Food Fight Against Cancer by voting on the tastiest dish!
