Cocktails for a Cause
Give For Chris is a fund that was created in March of 2008 to help Christian Stieler. Shortly after Christian was born in 1994 he contracted Hemolytic Uretic Syndrome, an infection that affects the blood. This infection spawned a growing war between Christian’s body and his kidneys making him have to go through a kidney transplant at a very young age. Christian was able to get a transplant early on but, after 11 years with his new kidney, it is now in a state of decline. For years, Christian has been in and out of hospitals experiencing symptoms stemming from issues with his kidneys and without another transplant, it will only continue. Penta joined forces with Give For Chris to execute a charity cocktail hour called “Cocktails for a Cause”. With the help of Penta, Give For Chris has raised over $6,000 to help with the growing medical expenses for Christian.
