As coordinator of National Cancer Survivor’s Day for the City of Oakley, I profoundly express my gratitude to all our sponsors for the third consecutive year: Mr. Gorilla Rilla (aka Mark Acasio), Lucky Store, Oakley Centro Mart, Los Charros Restaurant, Casa Del Palmar Market, Aladino’s Pizza, Eric Cabral and our additional “new” sponsors for Quest for a Cure’s third event: Starbuck’s, Fed Ex Kinkos, “Maria Chi Show La Tino,” the Ohl family, Coping Magazine, vocalist Jazlyn Ohl, Hannah Socorro Rios, and Hugh Carpenter.

Subsequently, this 22nd anniversary was celebrated around the world. We were blessed to have T-shirts printed by S&M Enterprises in Antioch with the Universal logo and sponsors.

In conclusion, I extend my heart for the appreciation, support and labor to the Ibarra family, Evelyn Scapacasa, Cindy Logo, the Women’s Cancer Research Center, Alma Loos, Victoria Rios for the posters, Pilar and Dominico Gustavino for the pink roses, Sonia and Peter Rios for the cleanup and to the City of Oakley for its support.
