This is not just any meal, it's Francesca's.... one of our favorite restaurants in the Barrington area.

In addition, there will be a silent auction for donated items from area businesses to raise additional funds for the walk.

The proceeds of the dinner are benefiting the "Sassy Striders" walking team who will be walking this August in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day.

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day event will be held in Chicago on Aug. 10 through the 12th. Participants walk a total of 60 miles in three days to help raise awareness for Breast cancer research and raise millions of dollars.

The "Sassy Striders" Breast Cancer 3-Day walking team consists of four walking team members: Jennifer Raaths of Barrington, Heidi Stolt of Wauconda, Amy Drobnick of Wauconda and Tasha Baird from Cary.
