UCI Diabetes Center

Toasting American Ingenuity

10.06.11

The UC Irvine Diabetes Center held its annual fundraiser on September 22, 2011, at the Balboa Bay Club & Resort in Newport Beach.

The evening’s theme “Toasting American Ingenuity” celebrated advances in technology and medical science. Guests dined on regional American fare paired with craft beer and Paso Robles wines. The event drew 260 guests, featured silent auction and opportunity drawing, and raised approximately $385,000 for the Diabetes Center’s research initiatives.

Under the leadership of Director Dr. Ping Wang, the UCI Diabetes Center offers patient care and conducts research on multiple fronts -- from regenerating pancreatic cells to applying information technology to compute and analyze stem cell data. The Center also trains the next generation of physicians and researchers.

DRINK PINK AT FLEMINGS!

October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month is here and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar is once again helping to raise funds with a 99-calorie cocktail, The Stiletto (recipe below), for just $6 with all proceeds benefiting The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade.

As part of this month’s signature cocktail during the daily 5 for $6 til 7 (with five appetizers, five cocktails and five wines for $6 until 7 PM), the rose-hued Stiletto highlights how Fleming’s and its guests can easily and deliciously support The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade.

Fleming’s has also added Cline Cashmere, a Napa Valley Rhône-style red, to the “5 for $6 ‘til 7” bar menu. Cashmere is a flavorful, smooth blend with big cherry, raspberry and chocolate notes, and hints of cracked black pepper and plum. The winery behind this generous red is the equally generous Cline Cellars. Each year, they donate $25,000 to Living Beyond Breast Cancer.
