American Diabetes Association Father of the Year 2017


This spring, Bob has accepted the honor of “Father of the Year” in Orange County and the challenge to raise funds to support the American Diabetes Association in its efforts to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. 29.1 million people in America are affected by diabetes.

Selected by the Father’s Day Council, Bob along with several other outstanding fathers will be honored at a tribute dinner to be held on Thursday, June 15th, 2017, at the Island Hotel Newport Beach, beginning at 6 pm.

The proceeds from the Tribute Dinner will benefit the American Diabetes Association. Please help support Bob in this important project by contributing generously to the ADA. You can make this tribute memorable for him by attending the Tribute Dinner, including a special message in the events’ Tribute Journal, or make a general donation.
