On May 15, 2021, Cancer Support Community Pasadena (CSCP) will take its Angel Gala guests on a journey around the world. While CSCP’s highly anticipated virtual Angel Gala Around the World will have viewers watching from the comfort of their own homes, they will visit exotic locales and far-away places feeding their wanderlust during this pandemic.
For the past 3 0 years, CSCP’s Angel Gala has helped fund the free support groups, educational workshops, and healthy lifestyle classes that have provided hope to over 22,000 women, men and children facing cancer in the greater San Gabriel Valley.
Thanks to the generous support of CSCP’s community, the organization has continued to act as a beacon of hope during this pandemic – with support group participation exceeding in-person participation in prior years.
“We were so honored b y the overwhelming support from our community at last year’s virtual gala” stated Patricia Ostiller, CSCP’s Executive Director, “and we can’t wait to bring our community together again – virtually – to support families in our community who are facing cancer.”
CSCP is proud to honor Melissa Alcorn and Anderson & Murison a s this year’s Angel Award recipients. Their tireless generosity and passion for CSCP’s mission is inspirational to say the least. Melissa serves on the organization’s Board o f Directors, is a member of CSCP’s Guild, and has designated CSCP a s a beneficiary in her estate plan… ensuring that CSCP will continue to serve our community for years to come. Anderson & Murison, led by company President Jim McCarthy, has been a loyal member of CSCP’s prestigious Benefactors Society, along with Melissa, for the past several years. Together, they are helping to provide invaluable resources for CSCP, strengthening the organization’s ability to serve the community.
Gala co-chairs, Rita Gooch, Ruben Marquez, and Stephanie Poole had such fun attending the organization’s first virtual gala in 2020 , and are looking forward to working with their committee to create an epic journey Around the World with raffle prizes and auction packages that are sure to please even the most seasoned world travelers.
Please join CSCP on May 15th – from your couch – for an unforgettable trip Around the World… so that no one faces cancer alone.
