10.18.16
Cocktails for the Cure is celebrating its 10-year anniversary on Friday, Oct. 21 from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at Walker Zanger showroom in Tustin. The backyard party first hosted by two friends with 50 women in attendance has grown to a committee of over 20, over 300 attendees and a corporate location. Since its inception, they’ve donated nearly $100,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation due to the fact over 91% of donation dollars go directly to breast cancer research grants and awareness programs.
Each attendee is asked to submit a minimum $50 donation here ($75 starting at 12 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21) to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for entrance to the event. Once inside, you will enjoy delicious food, wine, cocktails, and a DJ, plus participate in a live and silent auction.

Walker Zanger is at 1702 Edinger Avenue in Tustin.
