SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER for
BREAST CANCER RESEARCH
Over 60 supporters walked the 7.2 mile course in Chino on October 3, 2015.
Our community should be very proud of their efforts. Over 60 walkers gathered for the walk in the morning, and 150 people were served paella and steak dinner that night. A special thank you to the kitchen & bar crew for all the work and talent they provided. The evening included a candlelight memorial, a video of the walk and music (provided by the Lucky Lonely). Denis Petrissans & Johnny Plaa won the mus tournament, Colette Aldaco won the fleur de lis stained glass, Taylor Seeley won the 50/50 raffle and Marie Ahadoberry won the Ferragamo purse. This special evening made a net profit $37,000 for breast cancer research. The committee, headed by Anne Marie Gariador, was overwhelmed with everyone’s generosity. A heart-felt thank you to all who supported this worthy cause.
