CORI contacted us about a very special event known as Rod’s Day, which takes place July 20th at 3:45pm at Mo’s Place in Playa Del Rey. 2013 marks the 21st year for this exciting fundraiser hosted by Dennis Fasone, in honor of his son, Rod Fasone, who lost his battle against colon cancer in 1992. Rod learned of his condition during his Junior year of college in 1990. Although initially given only 60 days to live, Rod fought the disease for 2 years; his courage inspired his family to get involved and help others in similar situations. For our part, we printed flyers, invitations, and 2 vinyl banners to promote the fundraiser. We’re proud to preserve Rod’s legacy through our custom printing services.

Event Details

Mo’s Place is located at 203 Culver Blvd. Playa Del Rey, CA 90293. Please RSVP on Facebook, and be sure to let the organizers know PrintFirm sent you! The free event features a fun Hawaiian theme, so get in the spirit with sporty summer gear. The festivities will start behind Mo’s with a 5 person skydiving performance led by Jumpin’ Bill. Afterwards, guests are invited to stay for a complementary dinner buffet provided by Mo’s during a raffle and silent auction. You won’t want to miss these great prizes, including, exclusive Lakers, Dodgers, and Clippers memorabilia, game tickets, restaurant gift certificates, a free stay at the Inn at Playa Del Ray, PacSun gift cards, and more! Best of all, 100% of the proceeds go to support CORI’s own Dr. Anton Bilchik! Special thanks go to Joyce Einseberg-Keefer, who generously offered to match $1.5 million in donations!
