Edwardsville, Ill., Aug. 17, 2018 – Gateway Center in Collinsville, Illinois hosted this year’s Farm-to-Table event, highlighting delectable cuisine by local executive chefs. As a Premier Sponsor for this event, The Gori Law Firm donated $10,000 which helps to raise funds for The American Cancer Society. Formed in 1913, The American Cancer Society is the nation’s largest community-based voluntary health organization playing a vital role in cancer research.
The event included libations from local distilleries, upscale wines, cocktails and delicious cuisine. A raffle and auction also took place along with entertainment from Midnight Piano Band. A mix of elegance but with a laid-back, casual feel, sponsors, vendors, volunteers and attendees played a key role in raising money and awareness for ACS, the American Cancer Society’s Metro East Chapter.
“It’s unusual to find anyone that hasn’t somehow been affected by cancer, whether it’s a loved one, family member or friend,” said Randy Gori, founding partner of The Gori Law Firm. “This local event does a wonderful job raising funds that go towards cancer education, research, and patient services and we were happy to be part of the evening.”
