The Michael Quintana, Jr. Memorial Fund recently held its 15th annual Christmas Party for CAP-Antioch, ALIVE-Antioch, and Inroads at the Paradise Skate Entertainment Center in Antioch at the fairgrounds.

The event honored more than 250 young adults with severe developmental disabilities and multiple handicaps.

Michael Quintana, Sr. lost his son, Michael, in a motorcycle accident in 1982. With help from family and friends, he decided to celebrate his son’s life by establishing the Michael Quintana, Jr. Memorial Fund.

Since his son’s death, “Mike’s Crew” has helped him raise funds to benefit nonprofit groups in the community in Michael Jr.’s name.

The Christmas Party featured a decorated Christmas tree, Santa passing out stockings filled with gifts, live entertainment, sing-alongs, and plenty of fun and laughter.
