The Babz Chula Lifeline for Artists presents The First Annual
BABZ Thursday November 6th
A Fundraising Event Benefiting Babz Chula and Her Fight to Reclaim her Health from Cancer.
For immediate release, October 10, 2008 - Babz, one of the most treasured matriarchal actresses in the Vancouver film community, is now engaged in her third battle with cancer. Babz is currently fighting two types of cancer; breast cancer that has metastasized to the liver, and a non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which lives in the blood. To ensure Babz has access to everything she needs to regain her health, close friends from the Canadian film industry (Ben Ratner/Moving Malcolm; Nick Lea/X-Files; Gabrielle Miller/Corner Gas and others) have banded together and formed a small charitable society, The Babz Chula Lifeline for Artists Society.
The Society is presently focussed on raising funds to support Babz in her struggle to regain her health. It is the Society’s goal and Babz’ wishes that the Society continue on indefinitely. To support the very same community of artists who continue to give their support to her.
And support from the community has been overwhelming. Through press generated for our Celebrity Dinner Auction in April 2008 and Babz’ personal blog, we’ve received kind words and donations from around the world. Unfortunately though, it hasn’t been enough to fully cover her long-term treatments. As Babz is unable to continue with Chemotherapy, it’s of utmost importance that we meet the demand for alternative healing measures.
