SMOOTH’S TO HOST ‘BIG EVENT FOR ACACIA’
Fundraiser Set For 16-Year-Old In Need Of Double-Lung Transplant

Long Beach, CA. – Smooth’s Sports Grill will be the location to host the ‘Big Event for Acacia’.

Overlooking Pine Avenue in historic downtown, Smooth’s Roof-Top Terrace will be the setting for a fundraiser to help Russ Cugno and Lisa Rizzo-Cugno's sixteen year old daughter, Acacia.

Acacia has been diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension -a serious life threatening heart and lung condition. She and her mother, who’s had to leave work, recently rushed to Pittsburgh where she had a life-saving double-lung transplant surgery last Friday night.

The non-insured expenses for pre and post-operative care are astronomical. The financial impact on the family is severe and continues to grow daily.

The event is planned to be a fun filled evening with food, music, prizes and a giant silent auction and is to raise money for Acacia to help with expenses for her and her family.

Smooth’s ‘Big Event for Acacia’ will be held on Wednesday, November 7th beginning at 5:30p.m. Smooth’s Smooth's Sports Grill is located at 144 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, California.
