When a customer involved with the Susan G. Komen organization asked for help, Michael's On Naples owner Michael Dene stepped up to help the breast cancer advocacy group.
Dene, who is hosting the Dine Out For The Cure fundraiser at his restaurant on Wednesday, July 15, has been personally affected by the disease. His wife of 47 years, Patricia, and his 97-year-old mother are breast cancer survivors.
"What family has not been affected by this devastating disease," he said. "We are completely in support of the Susan G. Komen organization as it provides the medically underserved and uninsured populations in LA County with screening, diagnostics and treatment for breast cancer. On behalf of the entire staff, we're glad to do our part."
Ten percent of the evening's proceeds will be donated to the nonprofit.
Patricia Dene, who was diagnosed in 1995 with a 20 percent chance at survival, said the ristorante is doing its part by following the Slow Food Movement, which encourages back-to-the-basics cooking with organic produce and artisanal processes.
"I feel that breast cancer, as with many cancers, are an environmental concern, and I do believe it's what we eat and what we drink and what we breathe in that's causing this," she said. "We want to raise awareness for all cancer patients and Michael's on Naples can contribute to that."

I am doing a research for former classmates.
I am wondering if Patricia Deane was a student at JHS 57 in Brooklyn, NY graduating in 1960. I have located at least 2 of class 9-1 of that year.

2. Agnes Cokley
If these names or mine rings a bell, please respond.
