Past events
Breast Cancer Awareness Walk-a-thonOn Sunday March 14, 2010, I participated in a charity to help raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. I walked on a treadmill with other participants from 8am to 5pm nonstop, at local health club. Pictures to be posted soon.
Zachary House for Abused Kids
During the grand re-opening of the DirectBuy of Gurnee center, the owner, Karuna Talwar also held a charity raffle to raise money for the Zachary House for Abused Kids. The Zachary House helps kids that have been affected by child abuse. $1,100 was raised towards this foundation and Karuna Talwar also donated $500 to the cause, and presented a check in the total amount of $1,600 to the President of the Lake County Chamber of Commerce to be applied to this charity.
Telethon for the Daisy Center
On Saturday October 18th, 2008, Karuna Talwar and her son Blake attended the locally televised telethon to help raise money for the Daisy Resource and Development center. She personally donated to the cause and Blake presented the check to Dr. Daisy Brooks, founder of the Daisy Center, on stage.
Karuna helped by being on air with Dr. Brooks and the Mayor of Gurnee, Krystine Kavorik, and urging viewers to donate to a very worthy cause. This telethon was able to raise over $30,000 to help Dr. Brooks to run her center and bring in 3 additional women into her center that would not have be given a chance.
