'Flip Out On Cancer' Event to be Held at Fusion 5

The third annual 'Flip Out On Cancer' benefit will be held at Fusion 5 in Foxborough Tuesday, May 10 at 7:00 p.m.

This year, Fusion 5 will be splitting the proceeds of the event between the American Cancer Society and the Jeff Parker Memorial Scholarship fund.

Jeff Parker was a Foxborough resident who lost his battle with Melanoma in 2010 at the age of 25. Parker was a graduate of Foxborough High School, class of 2003 and a graduate of the University at Buffalo, class of 2008.

The event will consist of a "flair bartending showcase," raffles and auctions.

Fusion 5 held their first cancer benefit in 2009.

"We decided to do this event in 2009 because everyone in our staff has been touched by cancer in one way or another," said Fusion 5 employee Janel Evans.

"This year we will also be donating to the Jeff Parker memorial scholarship foundation," said Evans. "We would like to support this great Foxborough organization because we want to give back to our community."

Evans is looking forward to a great event on May 10 and is optimistic that "this year will far surpass the previous years."

Donations in Jeff Parker's memory may be made to:
