GRUFOLPAWA Brings Carnival to the 30th Anniversary Brunch

On Saturday, April 27, the Carlito’s Wish Foundation hosted a brunch at the beautiful El Caribe Caterers (Brooklyn, NY) to celebrate 30 years of granting wishes to children suffering from life-threatening illnesses.  The hall was bathed in a hue of pink in recognition of breast cancer awareness and the tables were adorned with centerpieces carefully designed by Mercedes Ottley, Founder and CWF member. CWF was also graced with a carnival performed by GRUFOLPAWA.
