Third Annual Cocktails for the Cure Set for Oct. 23rd

2009-08-30T21:40:00.000-07:00

On the heels of last year’s successful second event the third annual Cocktails for the Cure fundraiser has been set for Friday, October 23rd . After years of 5k, 2-day and 3-day walks Kendall Carre and co-chair Jasvina Gill created Cocktails for the Cure to honor Carre’s mother, who died from breast cancer 12 years ago as well as their many friends and loved ones lost to or fighting breast cancer, and to continue in the fight to find a cure for the deadly disease. “What better way to celebrate survivors and the lives of those we’ve lost to breast cancer than with cocktails, good friends and raising money for a great cause,” explains Carre.

Stepping up the sophistication level of this year’s event Walker Zanger’s impressive tile showroom in Tustin will be the venue this year from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Those in attendance will be numerous building industry leaders, associates and friends who will enjoy cocktails, appetizers, swag bags, a silent auction, and more.

Early sponsors include the Sales & Marketing Council of Southern California, China Doll Foods, and Walker Zanger.

New this year the event will be open to both women and men. “In our first two years we were starting small and held it at Kendall’s personal residence,” says Gill. “But with the Walker Zanger showroom as our new venue we can accommodate so many more people. It only seemed natural to invite the guys as guests and broaden our reach.”

Gill and Carre ask each attendee to submit a minimum $25.00 donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for admittance. Last year’s response was overwhelmingly positive. The group expects to double their attendance to the event this year as well as their donation efforts.

The group is accepting sponsorships and in-kind donations for the event as well as auction items. To participate as a sponsor or to be put on the guest list, please contact Kendall Carre at 949-842-4872 or via email at kendallcreative@cox.net or Jasvina Gill at 714-955-3323 or via email at javina@p11.com. You can also become a Facebook fan by searching for Cocktails for the Cure and follow them on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/cocktails4cure.

Final Call for RSVPS!

2008-10-15T08:28:00.001-07:00

We are down to the wire in preparing for the big event. Please contact us by this Friday to let us know if you will be able to attend.

A special reminder to bring your checkbook too! You are not going to believe all the fabulous items that have been donated for our silent auction...everything from tickets to South Coast Rep, The Ducks, a Spa Gregories certificate, stone from Euro Laguna Marble and Walker Zanger and so much more! Thank you to all our great friends.

Can't wait to see you there.

Much love to you!

To my friends

I know, sappy but I do know the most amazing women. Forget surviving, we are fighters! My neighbor Diane would have to be the General in this fight against cancer. She has fought the "CANCER" for over six years while raising two wonderful boys. The doctors told her she had very little time when she was first diagnosed but she told me she wanted to see her oldest off to college. She did it and it's been five years!
I had the baby cancer and I am a wimp compared to this warrior.
Thank you Diane for leading the charge.
We will do it, will we fight it and we will find a cure.

2008-09-23T22:25:00.000-07:00

Preparations for the Second Annual Cocktails for the Cure Fundraiser are coming along quite nicely. The food, the fun, the auction, the swag bags, the never empty pink cocktail! And we may even have a DJ! Looks like another fun evening for the girls topped off by the added bonus of raising thousands of dollars for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Many of you may ask why we selected The Breast Cancer Research Foundation as our charity. There are many outstanding breast cancer fundraising arms and we’ve both donated or participated with a number of them. But when we decided to do our own fundraiser we wanted to be sure as much money as possible went to the program’s causes – not their administration. At the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, more than 85 cents for every dollar donated goes to breast cancer research and awareness programs. That’s pretty impressive!

As a side note, we added the ability to use PayPal this year for those of you who just don’t write checks anymore. If you can’t mail or bring a check with you to the event we encourage you to use this option. Unfortunately, a small percentage of your money will go to PayPal and not the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. We rather you have this as a choice to make it easier to donate, but wanted you to be aware of the deduction.

We couldn’t do this without our friends and sponsors: Sonia Adame, SMC/SC, Carina Hathaway, Patty Gamboa-Harding, Wayne Whitesides, Jill Perisich, Trisha Leuer, the guys at Land Concern, Valerie Hardman and Teresa Moe. Of course, we are still accepting additional silent auction items and assistance. If you’d like to participate as a sponsor or donate an auction item please contact Kendall at kendallc@ambrosiainteriors.com or Jasvina at Jasvina@p11.com.

Finally, if you are a survivor or have friends or loved ones who have been affected by breast cancer we want to know about it. We’d like to do an in memory and celebration wall at the event and most importantly recognize our guests who are survivors. Please send this information to Kendall to be included.

We so look forward to seeing each of you at this year’s event and can’t wait to keep up the good work in raising funds to help find a cure for this terrible disease.

See you soon and much love,

Kendall & Jasvina
