Dear Friends, It is with great pleasure that I welcome you here tonight for a very special evening of hope and celebration. I am pleased to have been able to Co-Chair this event with Mayor Bob Chiarelli, as both of us know first hand the effects of cancer on an individual and their families. With love, support and encouragement, early diagnosis and treatment, cancer can be beaten. It is so vitally important to constantly raise awareness and money in the ongoing battle against breast cancer and all cancers. Enjoy your evening and hug a teddy bear!
