The Samuel Jeffers Childhood Cancer Foundation held its 13th annual "Dance in Gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness" fundraiser event at the Pismo Beach Athletic Club on Sunday.

The fundraiser featured a silent auction, a wine pull, and a one-hour-long cardio class.

Participants were also encouraged to dress in gold since it symbolizes the resiliency of childhood cancer heroes.

“It's kind of a mix of the people who support us is a mix. A lot of them, probably 20 or 30%, are directly affected by childhood cancer, whether that's a child or a relative or a neighbor." said Samuel Jeffers, the Childhood Cancer Foundation President. "But the other, you know, two thirds are just people who care and, who just like supporting a good cause.”

Proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards cancer research and central coast support families with children who have cancer through the foundation.
