Harvest for Hope

Harvest for Hope

The Emilio Nares Foundation, dedicated to helping families navigate through their child’s journey with cancer, will host the 12th annual Harvest for Hope on Sunday, September 13, from 1-4pm, at San Diego Central Library. The event includes unlimited tastings from San Diego’s finest restaurants and beverage purveyors. ENF founders Richard and Diane Nares lost their only son, Emilio, to cancer when he was 5 years old. Turning tragedy into hope, the Nares family created the Emilio Nares Foundation, which provides a variety of programs and services for more than 5,000 low-income, underprivileged patients and families who have a child battling cancer. “Ride with Emilio” is ENF’s flagship program that provides a van to transport children and their parents to and from the hospital for chemotherapy treatments and other medical appointments. Tickets are $135 each. (www.harvestforhope2015.org)
