And there’s more…each luncheon guest receives a steel pavé crystal bangle bracelet donated by Christensen & Rafferty Fine Jewelry of San Mateo, long time event supporters who are also donating turquoise resin bracelets to be raffled off at each table. All proceeds benefit Mills-Peninsula’s Women’s Center along with the Breast Health Program, which serves women in San Mateo County. Last year’s luncheon raised more than $400,000, which funded nursing education and other services in the Women’s Health Center, including free mammograms and continuing care for the uninsured and underserved women in the community.
