Day Ridge ON THE

Annual fundraiser supports St. Joseph’s general fund

BY KIMBERLY EWERTZ

W

ith an entire wall of his office is adorned with eclectic guitars it was more than apparent that the director of St. Joseph’s Family Center (SJFC), David Cox, is an avid music lover. So why did the idea of a daylong music concert as an SJFC fundraiser cause him concern?

Last year Cox was approached by long time Gilroy residents Brenda and Shawn Chizanskos who proposed organizing the music venue, ‘Day on the Ridge’, their scaled down version of the popular ’70s, ‘Day on the Green.’ number of them eagerly joined the Chizanskos’ to create a board of volunteers to assist the couple in organizing the first, “Day on the Ridge,” last July.

The commitment and dedication of Shawn and Brenda, along with their board, were all the proof Cox needed to ease his initial concerns.

“If you would see their committee in action there’s always a tone of levity and fun but very serious,” Cox said. “This is no nonsense accountability, let’s get stuff done. I’ve been doing this for 30 years and I’ve never seen boards act this committed.”

That commitment paid off when a check for more than $40,000 dollars, the events’ proceeds, was presented to Cox last July. ➝ 4

“When I first heard about it I was a little worried because we’ve, (SJFC), always had control, we’ve always been the ones handling every aspect,” Cox said.

The Chizanskos’ and Cox have known each other for years, and for years the couple has been impressed with the contributions he and his team have accomplished at SJFC over the past 18 years.

“We’ve seen first-hand, it’s phenomenal, there’s just no words for it,” Brenda said—devising a way to fund more of SJFC’s efforts. “They have their hands in so many things, toy drives, turkey drives, food pantry, just everything.”

The couple’s friends and community members were also impressed. A

NO WAY OUT The headliner at St. Joseph’s annual fundraiser, Day on the Ridge, Starship keeps a captive audience.

For the Chizanskos’, there was never any hesitation regarding reprising the event in 2018.

“After the event, I got like hundreds of thank you emails from people that attended and some of the people that heard about it,” Shawn said, adding that was a great motivator to do it again this year.

‘I’ve been doing this for 30 years and I’ve never seen boards act this committed’ According to Vicky Martin, Director of Community Engagement at SJFC, last year’s event was the, “largest fundraiser we ever had.”

“And we’re looking for it to be even bigger this year,” Martin said.

Cox is equally as excited about this year’s “Day on the Ridge, scheduled

for Sunday, May 27, from 2-11pm.

The venue will feature a variety of musical talent, including the headliner, Starship, who will close out the night with a 9pm performance.

“It’s going full tilt, all the way, pedal to the metal,” Cox said. “It’s quality too. There are no shortcuts here. Not with the talent that’s coming, not with the food that’s being served, and not with the atmosphere.”

Thanks to the generosity of local vendors, including West Side Grill, the Milias, Maurizio’s in Morgan Hill, Danny’s, Dave Bozo Catering, Nob Hill, and others, this year’s event is ramping up to not only meet last year’s expectations, but exceed them.

“This is what’s so great about being in Gilroy and a small community, and David having so many connections in the community,” Brenda said.

“Because everyone is willing to step up and help. We have gotten close to twice as many sponsors as last year. We have more visibility with posters and flyers. The word is out, now we just need to sell tickets.”

In addition to Starship, four other bands will be performing throughout the event, Vegas McGraw, The Police Experience, Stealin’ Chicago, and South Bay Dub Allstars.

The bands will take a break but the music won’t. Renowned disc jockey, DJ Ponce will be ➝ 15

HISTORIAS Bay Area author of WWII book headed to Hollywood appearing at Barnes and Noble in Gilroy, May 19.

WWII historian holds Gilroy book signing

S

an Jose writer Dave Gutierrez who wrote the true story of an all-Mexican American World War II will make an appearance from 2-4pm May 19 at the Gilroy Barnes and Noble Store.

A new edition of his book, titled “Patriots from the Barrio,” from Westholme Publishing is now available at bookstores.

Company E in the 141st Regiment was an original Texas National Guard Unit and composed entirely of Mexican Americans from the barrios of Texas. The film rights to the book were recently obtained in Hollywood by actor/ producer Wilmer Valderrama.

The author’s relative, and onetime Bay Area resident, Ramon G. Gutierrez, served in Company E and would become one of only a few Americans to be decorated for valor on the battlefield by the Soviet Union during WWII. “They were part of one of the more unique and historical US. Army units and I wanted to make sure that their sacrifice and honor to their country was not forgotten,” David Gutierrez said.

Company E was part of the famed 36th Division. Young Mexican Americans from Del Rio, Uvalde, Kingsville, Laredo and San Antonio would join the unit in early 1941. The 36th Division was

deployed to North Africa in early 1943 and, in September of 1943, they spearheaded the allied landing at Salerno, Italy.

Company E would go on to fight up the Italian peninsula towards Rome at Mount Rotondo, San Pietro and the disastrous Rapido River Crossing. In January of 1944 the 36th Division would lose over 2,000 men in a span of 48 hours during the attempts to establish positions across the Rapido River.

Author David Gutierrez will be on hand at the Gilroy Barnes and Noble Store, located at 6825 Camino Arroyo, on May 19. Meet of the true WWII story that now has Hollywood’s attention.

said. “It’s a donation for St. Joseph’s and it’s a fabulous cause.”

Shawn considers the event a celebration.

“A celebration for St. Joseph’s Center, thanking the people that are on the front lines.”

As for Cox, he believes that as much as people will be participating in this event for St. Joseph’s, it’s really because of the Chizanskos’.

“It’s really about them, their friends and their connections making this happen and the effort and love they’ve bestowed upon our agency,” Cox said.

Brenda was quick to add.

“And we’re doing this with the love and admiration we have for you, and what you do.”

The event takes place at a private residence in Eagle Ridge. All guests will be shuttled from Solorsano Middle School’s parking lot on Santa Teresa to the event location.

“There’s all kinds of fun games that people can participate in, and I think what’s really nice too, is that it’s a come and go event,” Cox said.

“If they want to, (they can) come for a couple of hours and then maybe go home and clean up, and then come back.”

Guests are encouraged to bring their own beverages and meals, but the option to purchase food and drinks is also available. Takoz Mod Mex’s and Smoked Out BBQ food trucks will be on hand. Complimentary beer will be provided by Palmia beer, and select wines from local wineries will also be on hand.

Of course music is the main attraction for this one of a kind event but guests are also invited to take part in sand volleyball games, or take a leisurely inner tube ride in the in-ground pool while being serenaded by great music from great bands.

And if that isn’t enough incentive to attend, there will also be games like corn hole and bag toss, giant beer pong and regular beer pong.

As far as Brenda’s concerned, “there’s absolutely no reason not to buy a ticket.”
