Cancer Angels of San Diego (CASD) presents its Second Annual Celebration of Life on Saturday, July 31, at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe. The event will feature a walk, dinner, and silent auction. It is estimated that 25 percent of San Diego County cancer patients will be diagnosed with stage IV cancer, and of those, 33 percent will be unable to pay their medical bills. Another 25 percent will face homelessness. “This is an epidemic situation,” notes CASD founder and Encinitas resident Eve Beutler, who, together with her team, passes nearly every penny raised in donations on to the people they help. Money is paid directly to landlords, mortgage holders, and utility companies. CASD also offers its clients gift cards for groceries, clothing, gasoline, and other essential services. The individual registration fee to walk or sponsor is $125. (760/942-6346, www.cancerangelsofsandiego.com)   MIA STEFANKO
