Party in ‘Margaritaville’ for NETRF
Sheryl Sorem, beloved fiance of NETRF donor Jim Jungsten, loved golf, Jimmy Buffet, and a good party.
So, befitting of Sheryl’s style, the 2nd annual Sheryl Strong Fundraiser to benefit NETRF is set for Friday, October 20th at the Northridge Country Club in Fair Oaks, California.
Sheryl was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in October of 2020. After many months of radiation and chemotherapy to shrink her tumors, she underwent successful surgery in July 2021 to remove the cancer.
“We thought we were past the bad times, but about a month after her surgery we got a call from the surgeon; he sent a portion of Sheryl’s tumor to the Mayo Clinic for analysis, and it came back indicating Sheryl had metastatic neuroendocrine cancer,” explains Jim.
Sheryl passed away in the summer of 2021.
Jim and Sheryl’s family, along with their extensive network of friends and colleagues, are raising funds for and awareness of NETs through their non-profit “Sheryl Strong” whose mission is ‘to advocate for those who are in a situation of need or comfort, with little or no hope, those who don’t know their next steps, and those who need someone to be Sheryl Strong.’
If you’re in the Sacramento area, please join “Sheryl Strong” for an evening of fabulous food, drink, prizes and, of course, classic Jimmy Buffet tunes for dancing.
Registration for the fundraiser is here, and you can contact Jim Jungsten for available sponsorship opportunities.
