Joey Lopes Memorial Main Event
The annual "Joey Lopes Memorial Main Event" will be held November 4, 2017. Proceeds from the fundraiser benefit the Alzheimer’s Aid Society of Northern California and the American River College Gerontology Scholarship Fund. As a boxing championship contender in the 1950's and 1960's, Joey Lopes put West Sacramento on the sports map. Later in life, Joey suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and died in 1997. His family has hosted this event annually for decades to support organizations that fight Alzheimer's Disease and support families affected by it.
The menu will be Shrimp, Tri-Tip, Chicken, Pasta, Salad, Bread and Wine. A $45 donation per person is requested.
