Rockus Bacchus 2007

Thank you to all our corporate sponsors and distinguished guests for making Rockus Bacchus 2007 such a terrific success!

The most exciting philanthropic event to hit the Triangle, Rockus Bacchus, is a black tie event to benefit the Duke Cancer Patient Support Program.

The 2001 inaugural event was conceived to honor the life of Audrey Chase, one of the program's greatest friends and supporters, who died of cancer in December, 1999. Audrey always loved a good party, and this was one she wouldn't have missed!

Bacchus, the god of wine and mirth, sets the tone for the evening, which features a gourmet feast, accompanied by superb wines selected to complement the South American cuisine.

This year's Rockus Bacchus was another outstanding event. The event was held on February 17, 2007, at the Brier Creek Country Club in Raleigh, NC, and featured sumptuous South American cuisine. The evening also featured live music from the band Carnivalito and exciting live and silent auctions.

We hope you can join us for our next evening of music, dancing, and gourmet food.
