BOCA RATON — Shane’s Rib Shack on NW 19th Street in Boca Raton held a recent fundraiser, and will donate a portion of the proceeds from the night’s event to Christine’s Hope for Kids Foundation.
The Foundation was started in January, 2010 to honor the memory of Christine Gianacaci, a 22-year-old Lynn University student who lost her life in that month’s devastating earthquake in Haiti while serving on a humanitarian mission with Food for the Poor. The Foundation looks to honor Christine’s giving spirit by reaching out to help underprivileged children and kids with differences.
The foundation now has a chapter in South Florida helping kids in that region. It has already done work with the Florence Fuller Child Development Centers, The American Association of Caregiving Youth and North Palm Beach Little League.
