The Emilio Nares Foundation Announces 21st Annual Harvest for Hope Fundraiser Supporting Children Fighting Cancer. The Emilio Nares Foundation (ENF), a non-profit supporting families through their child’s cancer journey, has announced the eagerly awaited 21st Annual Harvest for Hope event. Returning to the stunning waterfront favorite Coasterra on Sunday, September 22nd, at 2 p.m., this beloved annual event is part of ENF’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The event features delicacies from over 25 local businesses, spotlighting not only San Diego's dynamic culinary landscape, but Baja California’s as well. Attendees can expect a remarkable dining experience, complemented by a variety of spirits that perfectly capture the essence of the region as well as a silent auction, another opportunity to support the organization’s ongoing efforts. Renowned philanthropic anchorman Carlo Cecchetto will return as this year’s host of the event, making the night filled with flavor and entertainment, for a good cause. Over the course of two decades, the Emilio Nares Foundation has been a beacon of hope for families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer. The Harvest for Hope event reflects the Foundation's unwavering commitment to providing essential support to these families and plays a pivotal role in their mission to create a positive impact within the community. After their son Emilio lost his courageous fight with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of five, co-founders Richard and Diane Nares were moved to assist other families in honor of Emilio's memory. The Emilio Nares Foundation acknowledges the disparity in access to transportation services for children battling cancer, which are essential for reaching crucial medical appointments. Harvest for Hope represents just one of the Foundation's efforts as they offer families hope by serving as a resource for underserved children facing cancer. Since 2003, the Emilio Nares Foundation has been dedicated to providing equitable healthcare access and promoting human welfare for underserved communities in San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Imperial Counties, through its Comprehensive Care Initiatives. One of the key programs they offer is the family resource center, a bilingual support group for families navigating the healthcare system and access to vital resources such as food, housing, legal aid, and mental health services. Their efforts expand beyond that, providing reliable and sanitary transportation for immunocompromised children going to and from medical appointments through Ride with Emilio, nutritious snacks for children undergoing treatments through Emilio’s Snack Bags, therapeutic activities and entrepreneurial opportunities for families through their Creating for Hope program and assistance with funeral costs and immediate needs for grieving families. Altogether, ENF has served over 11,000 families in Southern California and continues to support children fighting cancer and their families through fundraisers like Harvest for Hope. “The 21st Harvest for Hope fundraiser stands as a true testament to the dedication and difference ENF has made in the lives of families affected by childhood cancer. We ensure that families never feel alone during this difficult journey,” says Elsa Morales-Roth, newly named Executive Director of the Emilio Nares Foundation. “No words can express the gratitude we have for all who have stood by us every step of the way. Their support extends far beyond the foundation, and we look forward to continuing our mission of supporting families and children as they face the challenges of cancer. Every step of our journey has been paved by the support of our sponsors and donors. Harvest for Hope embodies the spirit of community unity, bringing people together to ensure that no one faces hard times alone, and the generosity that has carried us this far.” Co-Founder of ENF and Author, Diane Nares, will also be selling her debut memoir, His Place At The Table: A Personal, Public, and Spiritual Love Story at the Harvest for Hope Fundraiser. Recounting her life story through her new book, His Place At The Table uncovers the dichotomy between devastating loss and powerful expressions of hope and perseverance. All proceeds made from her memoir will be donated to the Emilio Nares Foundation. The Emilio Nares Foundation invites all members of the community to join them in celebrating this momentous occasion at Coasterra on Sunday, September 22nd, at 2 p.m. For ticket information and event details, please visit here. Sponsorship opportunities for community members and those unable to attend are also available. Purchase tickets or become a sponsor here.
