Hate Cancer? Us, too. BBQ It Away.

Young Texans Against Cancer 4th Annual Spring BBQ & Silent Auction

Seven years ago, forty-four young individuals in the Houston area banded together with one thing in common: Cancer. Young Texans Against Cancer (YTAC) was established in 2001 by this group of passionate individuals, who some have personally battled cancer while others have witnessed loved ones struggling with illness. Inspired by these struggles, the Founding Members created YTAC to increase cancer awareness among the generation of 20-40 year olds. In January of 2007, a dedicated group of young people started a second chapter in Austin and have continued to spread the ideas and dedication on which YTAC was founded.

This Saturday, YTAC hosts its 4th Annual BBQ and Silent Auction at Aramdillo Palace (5015 Kirby). Ticket price includes Live music from The Occasionals, featuring Travis Landers and Daniel Ro-Trock; beer and BBQ sandwich plate.
