Summary

Bailey’s Restaurant advertised its annual Jose Carreras dinner for September 27, 1997, serving dinner from 5:30 to 9 p.m. The available OCR notice does not identify the event’s beneficiary, so this article preserves the event without assigning a cause not stated in the September notice. The November follow-up identifies the dinner as a leukemia benefit and reports more than $3,000 in new gifts, bringing the five-year total to more than $12,500 for the Fred Hutchinson Leukemia Research Foundation.

Evidence limits

The advertisement establishes the date and dinner hours but does not provide attendance, proceeds, or beneficiary information.
