Semlak Strong Benefit — Supporting Andy Semlak & His Family
May 16 @ 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm
The Dog House Bar & Grill is proud to host the Semlak Strong Benefit — a community fundraiser supporting Andy Semlak and his family as they navigate one of life’s most difficult journeys.
In June 2025, Andy was diagnosed with Stage IV Renal Cell Carcinoma, an aggressive form of kidney cancer that has spread to his brain, bones, lungs, adrenal glands, and gall bladder. The road ahead is long, costly, and demanding — but Andy, his wife Molly, and their children Jacob and Isabella are not walking it alone.
This event is about showing up for one of our own. Come out, have a great time, and make a real difference.
