Hope Ceroy was looking
forward to finishing her sophomore year at Lincoln-Way Central, when in April
2013, she was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma,
a type of bone cancer that is affecting her leg, and has since spread to her
lungs. She is undergoing aggressive
chemotherapy, and medical bills are growing rapidly, putting a financial strain
on the family. A progressive dinner
benefit has been set for Saturday September 21, 2013 from 3pm to 6pm to help
the family.
Those wishing to attend
the benefit will have two routes to choose from based on their food
preferences. Route 1 starts at Little Joe's for appetizers, and include soup,
salad, & rolls. Dinner is being held at Chicago Dough Company with a pizza buffet, followed by dessert at
Culver’s, with your choice of a mini concrete mixer or single scoop sundae.
Route 2 begins at Beggars Pizza for bruschetta, loaded nachos, and appetizer
sampler platter items. Dinner is family style at Tom Kelly’s, with baked
chicken, roast beef, mashed potatoes, veggies, and mostaccioli. A kid’s menu is
available with choice of kid’s pasta, chicken nuggets, or grilled cheese.
Dessert is being held at Hope’s Kitchen, with your choice of a brownie sundae, root
beer float, or cupcake.
Both routes start promptly at 3pm for appetizers, and each stop will last
around 1 hour, with the event ending approximately 6pm. Cost of Route 1 is $20
for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. Cost of Route 2 is $30 per person
and $15 for children 12 and under. Select beverages included at most locations,
some restrictions apply. Alcoholic beverages extra where available. Guests are
responsible for driving themselves to each stop. No transportation is
available. Various raffles and giveaways will be held at each stop.
