Community Comes Together for Sam: Fundraiser at Raising Cane’s a Success

This week, our community came together in an incredible show of love for Sam, who is courageously battling leukemia. Raising Cane’s Temecula hosted a special COTA fundraising event, bringing friends, family and community members to raise funds for COTA for Sam to assist with transplant-related expenses and to help find his life-saving donor match. The event proved that when a community unites, amazing things can happen.

A Night of Generosity and Hope

The restaurant was packed with families, friends, and neighbors who turned up to enjoy delicious meals while contributing to a vital cause. Thanks to their participation, the funds raised will benefit COTA in honor of Sam. The energy in the room was filled with hope, compassion, and determination to make a difference for Sam.

More Ways to Help

While the fundraiser at Raising Cane’s was a big step forward, our efforts to support COTA for Sam don’t stop here. Whether you missed the event or are looking for other ways to contribute, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved:

Volunteer at Swabbing Events: Help out at swabbing stations as we continue the search for Sam’s donor match. Every cheek swab brings us closer to success.
Attend Upcoming Fundraisers: Stay tuned for more events, such as art fundraisers and other community gatherings. Every COTA event is another chance to come together for Sam.

A Community United in Action

This week’s event at Raising Cane’s was more than a fundraiser; it was a testament to the power of unity and compassion. Whether people came to buy a meal, volunteered their time, or shared Sam’s story, their efforts combined to show that our community stands strong for those in need.

Thank You for Supporting COTA for Sam

To everyone who participated in this week’s event, thank you for showing up and making a difference. Your generosity and kindness bring hope to Sam and his family during this challenging time.

While the event was a success, there’s still work to be done. Together, we can continue to raise funds for COTA for Sam, spread awareness, and, most importantly, find Sam’s match. For updates, donation links, and information about upcoming events, visit www.cota.org/cotaforsam
