Amanda’s Army pancake breakfast raises 15k on World Lymphoma Awareness Day
Lotsa love being sent to our FOX 11 colleague Amanda Salas as she prepares for another round of chemo this week. We all got to see Amanda at her pancake breakfast benefit held at the LAFD station 88 in Sherman Oaks. Amanda as you may know, our entertainment reporter, is battling Non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
The event raised $15,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The Los Angeles Fire Department Station 88 hosted the pancake breakfast on behalf of Amanda to help her raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The event was held between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. at LAFD Fire Station 88, located at 5101 Sepulveda Boulevard in Sherman Oaks. They also sold t-shirts to help raise money. If you couldn't make it to the pancake fundraiser you can still order a shirt by clicking here.
