The Cure 54 facebook page indicated Monday that Art Gutierrez has returned home following a stay MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.
The former UW-Whitewater student-athlete and linebacker on the Warhawk football team is currently waging the largest battle of his life – the battle with colo-rectal cancer. This is Art’s second battle within a year with this very aggressive cancer.
According to the post, doctors would like him to come back within the month for a unique form of radiation that isn't offered in the Midwest. He needs to stay in Texas for 2-3 weeks. C.U.R.E. 54 would like to help him pay for this trip as it is very necessary for him to get the best treatment he can.
The New Berlin Ale House has generously donated their facility to allow us to hold the C.U.R.E. 54 fundraising event on Friday, August 12th. During the C.U.R.E. 54 fundraising event, we will be holding a live auction and raffle. The auction will include autographed sports memorabilia, tickets, hotel stays, golf outings and many other items donated for this great event.
