Allegheny Health Network Cancer Institute to Host ‘Men with Cancer BBQ & Wellness Fair’

WEXFORD, Pa. - The Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Cancer Institute is pleased to invite men with cancer and their caregivers to a special evening of support, information, and connection at the "Men with Cancer BBQ & Wellness Fair."

The free event will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Wexford Health + Wellness Pavilion, Cafeteria & Dining Hall, located at 12311 Perry Highway, Wexford, PA 15090.

Attendees can expect:

• Delicious BBQ-style foods
• Giveaways, including the chance to win free Pirates tickets
• Valuable information and supportive connections
• Networking opportunities with patients, survivors, caregivers, and experts
• Breakout sessions focusing on managing side effects, nutrition, mental and physical health, and thriving in survivorship

This event is available to both AHN and non-AHN cancer patients and their caregivers.

"For many men, the expectation is to 'tough it out' and not burden others with their concerns. But cancer is not something anyone should face alone," said Dr. David Bartlett, Chair, AHN Cancer Institute and AHN Research Institute. "This BBQ and Wellness Fair offers a unique opportunity for men to open up, share their experiences, meet others facing similar health paths, and build a community that challenges that outdated norm."

Attendees are encouraged to register in advance by calling 412-330-4045.
