Lola Puring’s 100th Birthday Celebration

As we prepare to celebrate Lola Puring's 100th birthday, we've set up this site to allow for donations as we organize memorable celebrations in the greater Columbus, Ohio area for the weekend of November 4-5.

As such, her children Tess Gamboa-Mawhinney, Amy Gamboa-Hernandez and Chug Gamboa & Cheli Banta (representing Luis P. Gamboa) agreed that it would be best if we can initially crowdsource this funding within Lola's immediate family - children and grandchildren. However, we also welcome support from relatives and friends.

Preliminary Schedule:

11/4 @1-3pm: Hors d'ouvres at Lola's home at the Grand in Dublin, Ohio (Pagaduan-Gamboa extended family)

11/4 @ 6-10pm: 100th Dinner and Party at Dublin Community Center (All guests)

11/5 @10am-afternoon: Brunch at the Durants' (Pagaduan-Gamboa extended family)

Given that the cost of the weekend celebrations will be at least $5,000, we have set a minimum contribution of $150 which is equivalent to covering a family of 3 for the celebrations.

We thank you in advance for your contributions and we look forward to seeing all of you during the November 4 weekend celebration!
