Gino's Coffee House Hosts Annual Fundraiser for Local Girl with Bone Cancer

Osoyoos' Gino's Coffee House is hosting its third annual fundraiser, shifting its focus to support 10-year-old Tianna Laranjo-Huntington, diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma.

Castanet Oliver/Osoyoos reports that Osoyoos' Gino's Coffee House is hosting its third annual fundraiser, shifting its focus to support 10-year-old Tianna Laranjo-Huntington, diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma. The event will take place on September 12 and aims to raise funds for Tianna's family after her surgery.

The fundraiser will include a car show, silent auction, awards ceremony, and a Cars and Coffee poker run. Businesses can contribute or collaborate with Gino's for the fundraiser. The goal is to surpass last year's fundraising total of $15,000.

Tianna's mother, Allison Laranjo-Huntington, organizes similar events for other families in need. Gino's owner Arielle DeRos supports the change as her late husband Gino would have wanted it this way. The event aims to fill Main Street with support and positivity for Tianna during her recovery process.
