Client UCB to Host Fundraiser to Support Fight Against Cancer

Union Credit Bank will host a fundraiser organized by Teens Team-up Against Cancer (TTAC) benefitting The Children’s Cancer Caring Center, Inc. (CCCC). The TTAC was originally founded in March 2005 as a community service project by seven teenagers: Sofia Escasena, Luis Martinez, Kristin McAlpin, Hillary Miller, Nino Rishmague, Sabrina Rishmague and Bryce Zimmer. Their mission is to bring awareness to the community of the various needs relating to cancer issues.

The event will be held at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 12, 2009 at UCB's main branch office located at 1150 South Miami Ave., Miami, Fla. 33130.

This is the 5th annual art exhibition and fundraiser. The event will include a cocktail reception and fine jewelry sale. Last year’s event raised an excess of $112,500. This year’s event will showcase the works of Santiago Medina, Tania Mercadal, Unique Jewelry Creations by Ana Maria Capablanca and Melli Rionda and Mayi Jewelry Collection. All proceeds will benefit the CCCC, which is the only free treatment center for children with cancer in the southeastern United States. Over the past 42 years, thousands of young victims been saved and had their lives extended through the support and treatment of this center.
