On Saturday, Sept. 30, the popular Slice Night: Pizza With a Purpose event will return to downtown Cincinnati, giving the community a chance to share a meal and support a vital local health organization. The fundraiser runs from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Yeatman’s Cove, the riverfront venue on the Ohio River.
Why the event matters
Cincinnati Cancer Advisors provides free, personalized assistance to people newly diagnosed with cancer and to their families. The organization helps patients understand treatment options, locate financial resources, and connect with support services. By raising money at Slice Night, volunteers hope to expand those services and reach more families in need.
What to expect
Attendees will be served a variety of pizza slices from local pizzerias, along with non‑alcoholic beverages. All proceeds from the evening go directly to Cincinnati Cancer Advisors. The event also features a brief video interview with Dr. William Barrett, the founder of the nonprofit, who explains how community contributions translate into real‑world help for patients.
Community voices
During a recent WLWT interview, Tasha Stapleton of Cincinnati Magazine highlighted the event’s role in bringing together residents, local businesses, and health advocates. “Slice Night is more than a pizza party; it’s a tangible way for our city to stand with families facing a cancer diagnosis,” she said.
Dr. Barrett added, “Every dollar we receive allows us to provide navigation services, counseling, and financial guidance at a time when families are overwhelmed. The generosity of Cincinnati’s citizens makes a direct impact on health outcomes.”
How to get involved
Tickets can be purchased online through the event’s official website. The organizers encourage families, church groups, and local businesses to attend together, emphasizing the shared responsibility of caring for one another in line with Christian values of compassion and service.
For those unable to attend, a donation link is available on the same site, ensuring that every contribution—big or small—helps sustain the nonprofit’s mission.
Looking ahead
Slice Night is part of a broader effort by Cincinnati’s nonprofit sector to address health challenges through community‑driven initiatives. Organizers hope the success of this year’s fundraiser will inspire similar events that combine fellowship with charitable giving, reinforcing the city’s tradition of supporting families in need.
