Breakfast with the jolly man himself

December 12, 2023 By Mike Camunas

The GFWC Pasco Juniors Woman’s Club’s Breakfast with Santa charity event recently took place at the Lexington Oaks Community Center. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit annually hosts this fundraising event to purchase holiday presents for community youths, and to donate funds to the Sean Bartell Memorial Foundation. The foundation is named for a Wesley Chapel High student who passed away on Christmas Day 2014 from complications of Stevens Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. GFWC Juniors vice president Suzette Torres said the event raised about $600, thanks to food and coffee donations from Waffle House, Burger King, Keke’s Breakfast Cafe, Starbucks and Wawa. For more information on either charity, visit their Facebook pages.
