July 4th Barbeque for a Cause- Margot Ferron

While many Americans will be celebrating July 4th with hotdogs, hamburgers and fireworks on Thurs., July 4th, the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life/Mission Viejo has chosen to raise money for a great cause.  The 4th of July Street Faire will be held at Olympiad between Marguerite and Melinda Rd, Mission Viejo from Noon to 9 pm.

Relay for Life of Mission Viejo will host a booth to raise funds for cancer.  They will serve a half rack of Outback ribs and a Caesar salad for $5.  Special thanks to Outback Steakhouse.   All proceeds will benefit ACS.

This country was founded in spirit of community, service and togetherness.  As we gather to honor our forefathers and celebrate our nation, it is a powerful reminder that even in our fast paced society we can gather to remember loved ones lost to cancer and fight to eliminate cancer as well.   Please join us for ribs, a day of comedy, entertainment, fireworks, kids zone and fun.
