YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Wheezy’s Restaurant and Sports Bar in the Yuma foothills hosted the Bridget’s Gift Pink Party Takeover.
All profits from this event will go directly to Bridget’s Gift in support of breast cancer awareness.
Wheezy’s owner Elene MacAdam shares about the importance of people knowing about breast cancer.
“We also want to help bring awareness to breast cancer so people do their monthly checks. Because it doesn’t matter what age you are, breast cancer can come,” MacAdam expressed.
The event featured auctions and raffles.
Rural metro PIO Sarina Kissel shares why this feels personal to her.
“My grandmother was diagnosed this year with breast cancer, so, it hits a little bit different. I mean, I’m very passionate about anyone who has it. But when it’s in the family, it hits a little bit harder,” MacAdam shared.
Breast cancer patient and Wheezy’s co-owner Maria Steffanakos also shares her story.
“Breast cancer is near and dear to our hearts. I’m just now coming up on a three-year completion, and I’m back out into society, and what a better way than to sponsor and be apart of such a lovely foundation?” Steffanakos remarked.
From survivors to supporters, everyone involved with Bridget’s Gift this year is proud to be apart of such a good cause.
