This year’s patient champion is 17-year-old Breton Jarvis, a wonderful brother, dedicated football player and avid BYU and Kansas City Chief’s fan.
In March 2024, Breton was diagnosed with stage 3 tongue cancer and a rare genetic disease called Fanconi Anemia (FA). FA is a DNA repair disorder that leaves individuals more susceptible to cancer and bone marrow failure. On March 28, Breton had surgery to remove more than half of his tongue, and on May 13, he began six weeks of radiation treatment of the neck and mouth.
Proceeds from this year’s prize drawing and silent auction will benefit the Jarvis family and the Fanconi Cancer Foundation.
