Members of Theresa’s Heart Foundation, organized in memory of Theresa Brunetto, a Dyker Heights resident who passed away from an extremely rare form of cancer last year, will hold a Stand Up to Cancer Mother’s Day Shopping Event on Thursday, May 10, at Garfield’s Lounge, 274 Fourth Ave., from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.
All proceeds will be donated to the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and Relay for Life to aid in cancer research, organizers said.
The event itself will feature 25 different vendors offering a variety of merchandise just in time for Mother’s Day. Food and entertainment, including a deejay, will also be provided. Tickets are $20 ahead of time or $25 at the door.
Brunetto was just 25 years old when she was diagnosed with pleomorphic sarcoma of the heart. She passed away on Nov. 8, 2011.
