13th Annual Fun~Raiser November 1, 2009

An afternoon of fun for the entire family is scheduled for November 1 at Pinstripes, 1150 Willow Road in Northbrook (60062) – the site for the 2009 Fun~Raiser: A Party with a Purpose, hosted by the Suzanne’s Friends ~ For Life Chapter of the Leukemia Research Foundation. Bowling, bocce, prizes, and delicious Italian-American fare are set for 12:30 p.m. Proceeds from the event benefit the Wilmette, Ill.-based Leukemia Research Foundation.

Hosted since 1997, Fun~Raiser was created in memory of Suzanne Dreebin Wilensky of Northbrook, who was lost to leukemia at age 33. Suzanne left behind an inspiration for all her friends and family to conquer leukemia. Fun~Raiser is a tribute to Suzanne, a celebration of her life, and the opportunity to fund critical research into the causes and cures for the disease that has taken her and so many others. Fun~Raiser's purpose is to raise money to fund much-needed, world-wide medical research in the quest for a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and other cancers of the blood.
