Café Emilia presents... Dining for Jacob!

After the success and inspiration of Progins Players we, along with the Progin family, have decided to help one of our heroes Jacob Grecco!

Jacob is a 7 year-old boy who is fighting a rare malignant brain tumor called Gliomatosis Cerebri. Jacob and his family are an inspiration to us and we wanted to help them in any way we could!

Café Emilia will be hosting our event Dining for Jacob!

A medical crisis can provide tremendous amounts of stress on a family: emotional and financial. Jacob has two brothers and the family has rallied behind him for surgery, radiation and his current rounds of chemo.

Our goal is to raise money to support the family during these difficult times while also celebrating the fight and courage of the amazing Jacob!!!

Come join us for a delicious meal with a loved one or friends, while also helping an amazing boy and his family!

No one fights alone!
