08.24.16

By Madison Wiesner

Sir Bruno Serato should be given the title of ‘Most Generous Man’. The owner of the critically acclaimed Anaheim White House restaurant is giving away 10,000 free meals to nonprofits in Orange County in order to help them raise funds to fulfill their goals.

The popular “100 for 100” giveaway will offer 100 special event packages to the first 100 OC nonprofits to apply. They’ll each be given access to Sir Serato’s restaurant’s West Wing banquet hall and a fancy luncheon for up to 100 guests will be donated, Nonprofits can use the catering package as a fundraiser or to celebrate donors and volunteers.

“This is one of my favorite times of the year when I can help out a variety of worthy organizations that need help with fundraising,” said Serato, who is the operator of Caterina’s Club, which has fed more than a million “motel kids” to date.

Nonprofits interested in applying are encouraged to submit a maximum 1-page description of their 503-C nonprofit and how they hope the giveaway will benefit them to info@anaheimwhitehouse.com or fax to 714.722.7062. The deadline for submission is October 1st, with selections being named soon after.

Bubbles & Brunch to End MS

08.24.16

You can join the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Pacific South Coast Chapter’s third annual “Bubbles & Brunch to End MS,” a fundraiser to benefit MS research and programs and services for people living with MS, starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27 at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach.

The event will include a reception with mimosas, silent auction, plated brunch and inspirational stories from those affected by MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and the rest of the body.

Keynote speaker will be Wendy Booker, who was diagnosed with MS in 1988. In 2004, she became the first person with a confirmed diagnosis of MS to climb Alaska’s Mount McKinley. She also has successfully climbed to the top of the world’s “Seven Summits” (the highest peak on each of the seven continents) and has attempted Mt. Everest twice. She also is the first person with MS to reach both the North Pole and South Pole.

She is the founder of Climb On, a navigational guide program to help connect people with MS to the many choices of therapy options, neurologists and MS Centers. She also is the author of “New Altitude: Beyond Tough Times to the Top of the World,” her biography of progressing beyond tough times to the top of the world.

The fundraiser is sponsored by Biogen. Tickets are priced beginning at $100 per person. For more information and to RSVP, visit bubblesandbrunch.org.

Island Hotel is at 690 Newport Center Drive in Newport Beach.
