September 22 - Emilio Nares Foundation – Harvest for Hope

The Emilio Nares Foundation (ENF) is amazing – and Solare is helping sponsor ENF again this year at their 20th Annual Harvest of Hope event. The ENF provides family support systems and information for families with children with cancer. “Harvest of Hope” starts at 2pm at Coasterra on 880 Harbor Island Dr.

Click here for info on the event.

The Emilio Nares Foundation’s signature event Harvest for Hope has been bringing people together since 2003, raising over 3 million dollars for children battling cancer in Southern California. These funds have been crucial for the survival for low income children fighting cancer. ENF has travelled over 1 million miles, and served over 4,000 children getting them to their cancer treatments.

Solare will be there with a special dish! See you on Sunday, September 22.
