(PADRES), a non-profit organization committed to improving the quality of life
for Latino children with cancer and their families, is proud to join forces

extraordinary children and families while raising funds for the lifesaving work
of the organization.
Coinciding with “A Weekend of
Latin Style & Entertainment,” the annual gala is part of a series of events
benefiting PADRES’ programs and services. PADRES National Spokesperson Eva

celebrities and business professionals expected to attend in support of the
organization’s services.

from an early age. Throughout her 20-year musical career she has generated over
30 Top 10 radio hits, earned a 2002 Latin Grammy Award for “Best Rock Solo
Album” and sold more than 10 million records. As a cancer survivor herself,
Alejandra is also well-known for her involvement in philanthropic organizations
such as the Asociación Mexicana de Ayuda a Niños con Cáncer (The Mexican
Association of Aid to Children with Cancer) and acted as spokesperson for the
SER campaign (SPTI) to promote breast cancer awareness in 2008.
Last season’s “American Idol”
