Fred Pham 500 Charity Dinner

Fred Pham 500 is a cancer charity started by Fred Pham, a school teacher and family of 5 children and his wife when Mr. Pham was advised he had 4-6 months left to live. Mr. Pham was diagnosed with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma; a form of cancer. He had several chemotherapy treatments as well as 2 surgeries, but this was not suffix to ease Mr. Pham symptoms. Mr Pham has since passed but the charity continues strong with hope.
