Lapinski Foundation Dinner & Auction
5th Annual Beefsteak Dinner & Auction
When: Friday, August 3, 2012, 7pm
Where: The Elan, Lodi, NJ
Family Reach Foundation was honored to be the beneficiary of the Joseph Lapinski Foundation Fifth Annual Beefsteak Dinner & Auction. This wonderful event honored our founding mothers, Andrea Colangelo and Marilyn Morello. A check for $20,000 was presented at the event to support our programs providing financial relief to familes fighting cancer. We are so pleased with this partnership and hope to see many friends of the Lapinski Dinner at our 5K on October 13th, where this collaboration had it’s start when a Lapinski Foundation Board member attended last year.
Family Reach is proud and appreciative that the Lapinski Foundation is honoring our founding mothers, Andrea Colangelo and Marilyn Morello, at this year's Beefsteak Dinner & Auction. When asked about her commitment to Family Reach families, Andrea explains, "What keeps me going is the families that we help. When you hear you have made a difference in a crisis situation with a family, how can you not help?" Marylin describes the importance of what Family Reach does by saying, "As a society, I think it makes us stronger, not waiting for the government to jump in and help us, but linking up family to family to support one another."
Read more about these great ladies here, and join us in honoring them on August 3rd!
