Hometown Hero Robert Guerrero Donates 100K to BFC Foundation
PhilBoxing.com Tue, 16 Jun 2015
GILROY, CA (June 15, 2015) -This past Saturday and Sunday hometown hero, Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero hosted the first inaugural fundraiser for the BFC (Breathe For Caley) Foundation at Uesugi Farms Pumpkin Park in San Martin, CA. Known for being a community leader, Robert Guerrero donated 100K to the non-profit organization, helping the foundation, which grants chronically ill kids with a wish of their choice, to kick off their first event.
Children of all ages attended the BFC event and their first recipient, 13-year old Maria Fajardo, who received a double lung transplant, was granted her wish to attend an Oakland Raiders game with her donor family. Together they will receive VIP tickets and field passes to a Raiders home game in 2015.
"This was a very special day for everyone involved with the BFC Foundation," said Robert Guerrero. "We've all worked really hard to get this non-profit organization off the ground and I wanted to show my gratitude by donating to the cause. It brings me great pleasure to see these kids get a wish of their choosing. Caley Camarillo was dear to my heart and her love and legacy will live on through her foundation. The first event was a great success and many more will follow. I want to thank all the board members, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who attended for making this a wonderful time."
