"Make Your Mark For Meso" - March 11, 2012

Rosemarie Ganoe already knows a thing or two about pulling together as a community for a worthy cause. Last year she was honored as a “Person of Distinction” by the Los Angeles Daily Breeze newspaper, receiving the female volunteer honor for her contributions to various fundraising committees and events.

This Sunday Rosemarie will be at it again when she hosts the first annual “Make Your Mark for Mesothelioma” fundraiser in honor of her beloved husband Mark, who passed away from mesothelioma almost exactly a year ago.

Rosemarie has organized a fabulous “Casino Night” of Roulette, Black Jack, great food and wine, entertainment, silent auction and raffle prizes.  All proceeds will benefit The Pacific Meso Center, an organization committed to finding innovative medical solutions for mesothelioma patients.

According to Clare Cameron, PMC’s executive director, “Rosemarie is the best negotiator I’ve ever seen. She has almost singlehandedly secured donations of services and prizes from countless individuals and businesses and in the process exceeded any preconceived expectations on how much they were willing to give. Her business acumen, prominence in the community, and infectious desire to help have given her church, clients, friends, family and community an exceptional opportunity to support her when she needs them most.”

According to Rosemarie, “I feel that no matter what I give to the community or what I volunteer, I could never give them back as much as they've given me. Never." Even tonight, Rosemarie will be joined by her dedicated group of volunteers, consisting of friends and family, to take part in an assembly line of sorts to organize and assemble all of the gift bags and auction and raffle prizes for the event.

“Make Your Mark for Mesothelioma” will be held at the Dalmatian American Club in San Pedro on Sunday March 11, 2012 from 6-11 pm. The event has completely sold out but if you still want to donate, please contact Clare Cameron at ccameron@phlbi.org or mail your donation to 1379 W Park Western Dr. #301, San Pedro CA 90732.

The Law Office of Roger G. Worthington is moved by Rosemarie’s commitment to mesothelioma research and support for Dr. Cameron’s mission to improve meso patients’ lives. We are donating $10,000 to support Rosemarie and are pleased to be part of the “Make Your Mark for Meso” event in memory of Mark Ganoe.
