Leukemia victim fundraiser at local Naperville restaurant

Francesca's Passaggio restaurant in Naperville is hosting a fundraiser for a Michigan leukemia victim on Wednesday. Fifteen percent of the proceeds from 5 to 9:30 pm will be donated to Care for Kevin, a nonprofit organization formed to raise funds to cover medical expenses for Kevin Christesen, a 28-year-old from Canton, Michigan. Kevin was diagnosed with adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia last summer. He is married with a young daughter. Kevin's aunt, Pat Ross, lives in Palos Heights and organized the fundraiser with the help of Danielle Laveau, the restaurant manager.

Diners are encouraged to stop in Wednesday evening to do their part. There is also a donation box available at the restaurant.
