Fundraiser to Support a Local Family

[heatherkenney]

Celebrate Suzanne DePeppo - a 38 year old mother of five who passed away very suddenly just before Christmas. Please come out and share your love and warmth with Suzanne's family, friends, and community on Wednesday evening, February 3rd, at Big Apple Pizza & Pasta in Fort Pierce (right across from IRSC's Main Campus). Starting at 4 p.m. there will be delicious home-baked desserts for sale and 100% (that's ALL of them) of food and beverages sold will go back to the DePeppo family to help them get through an emotional and financial nightmare.
Suzanne believed in the strength and power of family so on Wednesday, we will celebrate her life and legacy and also her passion for strengthening families!

Join us at Big Apple Pizza (across from IRSC) at 2311 S. 35th Street, Ft. Pierce
4 - 9 pm
THIS Wednesday, February 3rd

From 4 - 9 pm ALL money that the Big Apple Pizza takes in will go to the family. This includes all money for drinks, food, employee wages and tips. 100% - they will not even deduct the cost of ingredients!

In addition from 4 - 9 there will be some great give aways to try to win so bring lots of extra cash. Some include packages titled Family Game Night, Family Reading Night, Arts & Crafts for the kids, Creative Memories Scrapbooking Collection and much more. There is also a beautiful $510 necklace that has been donated and represents the family. It is 5 hearts with the points all together in a circle representing the five children left behind but strong as a family. The necklace can also be worn with the hearts in a row with the hearts symbolizing the five children holding strong together still with their father holding on tight (the chain). It is beautiful and you will likely tear up when you see it. Many thanks to Barton's Jeweler's in Stuart for donating it without hesitation!

From 5 - 7 pm there will be a huge bake sale. Local luminaries and notables from St. Lucie County will be on hand, wearing their aprons and serving samples of desserts that will be available for purchase at $5 a plate. It's a great opportunity to enjoy a dessert there with your family and friends or to take home to your family. Again - all comes back to family.

So, eat there or do take out! Spread the word and watch the amazing results of a community pulling together for a family in need!

We'd love to rock the socks of The Van Duzer Foundation who is hosting this event at the Big Apple Pizza with the LARGEST turn out of all the fundraisers they have done thus far. To find out more about the foundation and the event itself - visit www.thevanduzerfoun dation.org.
