LSCOBA Southern California Chapter has formed a team to participate in the Walk for Hope 2011 organized by City of Hope to support women's cancer treatment, research and education. This is the 7th straight year of our Chapter's participation and the 15th anniversary for Walk for Hope Los Angeles.
Funding research is the only way to improve treatments and find ways to prevent and ultimately cure this disease. City of Hope has made much progress and we are proud to be a part of their work.
Our team participated in the 2K walk and raised close to $1000. There was heavy rain in the morning throughout the first half of the walk. But despite the bad weather, the turnout was marvelous. For the first time ever, the event raised over $1 million and had a record number of over 10,000 participants. Everyone had a good exercise through the heart of City of Hope's Duarte campus for a good cause and enjoyed the entertainment, sponsor booths and giveaways.
The event was a resounding success and ended at around noon. The team then joined our Dim Sum regulars at Empress Harbor Seafood Restaurant in Monterey Park afterwards.
Thanks to all team members and contributors. Special thanks to Stephen Chiu, Vivian and David Sin, Vincent Chan, K.P. Wong, Eddie Yu, Eddie Shek, Sampson Chan, Caesar Mak, Peter Chan, Charles Tsang, Johnson Chao, Gordon Chung, Thomas Tsui and all those who couldn't join the walk but sponsored and fully supported our team.
