Missy Bowles prepares for her third year organizing "ROD's Benefit for Meso." Bowles has been on a mission to raise money for research on the asbestos-related cancer mesothelioma ever since it killed her father in 2008. Baskets with overnight stays in hotels and overnight necessities will be available at a silent auction at Saturday's event in Eleanor.

A gift bag for moviegoers will be up for bid during the silent auction at the event, which raises money and awareness for mesothelioma research.

Missy Bowles' father died from the asbestos-related cancer mesothelioma in 2008.
