From the Web Master - The Four Pearls of Beckstrand has undergone a complete web re-design. The previous Four Pearls site needed lots of work to be done, so I volunteered my help because its a worthy cause and quite frankly, it needed help badly. The process for the Four Pearls website re-vamp started with me and Brady O' Connell discussing the idea of me re-doing the Four Pearls website. I...
The average age in O.C.'s many glam, big-hearted, charitable groups once hovered around 40. No more, thanks to three Mater Dei High School grads who formed Four Pearls, a hip auxiliary of the do-gooding Beckstrand Cancer Foundation.

A mix of glam and grace aptly described The Beckstrand Cancer Foundation's 2007 The Diamond & Pearl Ball. Gala chairs, Kirsten Prosser, Joni D'Amato, Tami Kahn and committee members transformed the Balboa Bay Club into an exotic Evening in the Orient. Deep red and gold hues dominated the decor.

Healthy athletic 16-year-old girls aren't supposed to die of breast cancer.
And in this day and age, we would hope that the first diagnosis won't be the one that shows the disease has advanced to Stage IV, which means that it's very advanced, and the survival rate is very low.
