Join us for an Evening Under the Stars
The Michael Hoefflin Foundation’s annual an “Evening Under the Stars” Gala Dinner and Charity Auction is set for September 13, 2014. We are excited to announce a change in location bringing our signature event to the beautiful Robinson Ranch Golf Course. Spend the evening with us as we transform one of the greens into a magical “Evening Under the Stars.” This year we have added a twist for the entertainment sure to have you on the edge of your seat, perhaps spinning with anticipation.
The Gala is our largest event of the year and raises funds that help us provide direct financial, emotional, and practical support to children with cancer and their families. Since its inception, the Gala event has raised significant funds to fight children’s cancer and each year, public awareness about the fight grows.
The evening offers a wealth of entertainment and opportunities to support the Foundation. We invite you to come out and enjoy the silent and live auctions, great entertainment, and fine dining. (Click to continue reading…)

All proceeds from this run will go to the Foundation.
Wiegand’s son and Wilke were in the same Boy Scout Troop, and Wiegand was “blown away” by the amazing effect Wilke had upon so many people in his community. At the rosary for Wilke, Wiegand heard so many stories about the boy, who was an avid baseball player and loved the Angels. “It really spoke to me,” said Wiegand, who for the past five years has done challenge runs to raise money for Lifewater International, an organization that builds water wells in developing countries.
