ABOUT CONNECTICUT CANCER FOUNDATION (CCF)
CCF was founded in 1987 by Connecticut native John Ellis, a former catcher for the New York Yankees and cancer survivor to financially assist Connecticut cancer patients and their families and fund cancer research. For the past 34 years, through its CT Cancer Patient Assistance Program, CCF has granted over $7 million to more than 8,000 Connecticut families dealing with the financial hardship that often follows a cancer diagnosis. In addition, CCF has donated more than $2.5 million to support ongoing cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
NO ONE PLANS FOR CANCER! Here at CCF, we believe that no one should have to worry about a roof over their heads, lights on and food on the table while battling cancer. CCF aids with everyday living expenses, rent/mortgage payments, utilities, medical co-pays, food, medications and more. This financial assistance helps patients maintain their dignity and lessens the stress that may inhibit their treatment and recovery. The goal is to never turn any family away and increase the grant amount to each family.

Year of the Tiger festivities kick off on Sunday, February 6th
Mohegan Sun is ringing in the Year of the Tiger on Sunday, February 6th with events for everyone to enjoy. Following tradition, celebrations for the Year of the Tiger include the Fortune God, Red Envelopes, special menu items at Phantasia at Sunrise Square, Jonathan Lee in Mohegan Sun Arena and more!
The celebrations kick off with a performance from Jonathan Lee, one of Asia’s most influential and respected musicians, at 1:00am on Sunday, February 6th at Mohegan Sun Arena. Tickets are $268, $218, $168, and $98 and can be purchased at www.iemshowplace.com or by calling 718.888.3113. Lee will later be inducted into Mohegan Sun Arena’s Walk of Fame at Noon on Sunday. Guests and fans can observe the public ceremony near the box office in front of Mohegan Sun Arena.
Festivities continue with a traditional Lion Dance featuring Calvin Chin’s Martial Arts Academy. The Lion Dance has long symbolized the exorcising of evil spirits and summoning luck and fortune. The performance will start at 1:00pm at the Summer Valet with an outdoor performance that culminates with a firework display at approximately 1:30pm. Afterwards, the Lion Dance will travel indoors and make its way through The Shops at Mohegan Sun. The Fortune God will be handing out Red Envelopes, which signify good luck and fortune, to guests while supplies last.
The origins of the Lion Dance are linked closely to the origins of the Lunar New Year celebrations. It is said that in ancient times, a mythological creature known as Nian terrorized China and devoured its people on the eve of the New Year. The only animal that managed to wound this beast was the lion. Thus, as an attempt to frighten the beast, the villagers decided to mimic the lion with lions made of cloth. In accordance with this legend, the dance is believed to usher good fortune, as well as ward off evil spirits. The Lion Dance calls for perfect coordination, elegance and nerves of steel. Two dancers are usually needed to give life to a ‘lion.’ One controls the movements of the head, eyes and mouth; the other acts as the body. The first dancer directs the movements, while the second works in tandem with the first.
From February 1st-16th, Phantasia at Sunrise Square will offer special dishes like lobster, fish, pig’s feet, vegetables, and more.
