Grand Pacific Resorts and ResorTime Walk in Honor of Co-Worker

Grand Pacific Resorts,  a privately owned vacation ownership company located in Carlsbad, CA and ResorTime.com, a popular source for on-line vacation and timeshare condominium rentals teamed up to kick off the first North San Diego County edition of “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.”

“The ‘Grand Pacific Resorts He’RO’es for Hope Team’ had a great start with its 1st Annual ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ walk in Carlsbad.  We had a total of 55 people that came out on a beautiful day for a 3.5 mile walk,” said Karen Jones, the walk organizer.

The fundraiser raised approximately $1500 in its first effort. The contribution was   presented to the American Cancer Society(R) on Sunday at its Balboa Park walk which had 25,000 walkers and raised almost $1 million to help find a cure for Cancer.

The walk began and ended at Grand Pacific Palisades Resort and wound its way past the flower fields and through Legoland®.

“Our idea is to grow the walk in North San Diego County as a companion to the Balboa Park event,” said Karen.  “Many of us walked to honor Rosemarie Fecko who was our friend and co-worker for many years. We have even greater plans for next year’s event.”
