Proceeds benefit the Hillcrest Benevolent Endowment which supports those who have outlived their financial means. Other residents who incur long-term chronic illness can deplete their savings. The Pomona Valley Chapter of Executive Women International will give three Asist Awards at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Sheraton Fairplex, Pomona. This is the first year the chapter has given these awards. One is a student at Mt. San Antonio College and two are from the House of Ruth.
Applicants can be single parents, individuals entering the work force or displaced workers.
The award is forwarded to the educational provider. Located just south of the Ontario International Airport, Hofer Ranch is 120 years old. Formerly a ranch for growing cotton, corn and grapes, today the fifth-generation family grows grapes for Zinfandel wine. There will be food, gunfights, card tricks, music and an auction. All proceeds benefit the shelter, a 90-day shelter for homeless families.
