The Pertel family of Moraga, winners of the Dinner for Finley raffle conducted by the Moraga-Orinda Fire District Professional Firefighters Association, joined Finley Brown, her father and brother for the feast at fire station 44 Saturday, Dec. 11. Firefighter-paramedic Lucas Lambert organized the event after meeting Finley, a cancer patient, at the Moraga Pear Festival in September. The raffle proceeds will pay for a trip to Disneyland Park for the Brown family after Finley completes her chemotherapy treatments this month.
"I was doing my food shopping and in came a call I didn't recognize. It was Lucas, who told me that we had won the raffle," said Kimberly Pertel. "It was so great, because our kids and the Browns are all school buddies."
Lambert said the association hoped to raise $1,500 in contributions for the family. The final total exceeded $3,400. - Nick Marnell
