               Chasin A Dream Foundation’s Fourth Annual Gala



                                                Nets Half-Million Dollars


                                         For Local Children With Life-Threatening Illnesses


        Chasin A Dream Foundation raised its highest fundraising amount to date – a
      record-breaking $491,000 –from its fourth annual gala, “Raceway Rendezvous,” at
      the Wyndham Grand Jupiter at Harbourside Place on April 6. The Jupiter-based charity
      achieved the stellar milestone after seven years of inspiring hope and providing aid
      and resources to families with children stricken with cancer and other life-threatening
      illnesses and disabilities.
        Borrowing its theme from the adrenaline-fueled sport of racing, this year’s fête
      featured 26-year-old IndyCar superstar and Jupiter resident Kyle Kirkwood along with
      motorsport drivers Gianni Maiuro, Nick Riceputo and Roland Veit. WPEC-TV news
      anchor Sam Kerrigan shined as master of ceremonies and Tanya Lorigan, publisher of
      Jupiter and Stuart Magazines, served as the gala’s cochair.
