NBA all-stars help poor Serbs
Fremont fundraiser to aid hospitals
By Angela Woodall, STAFF WRITER
FREMONT — Some of Serbia's hospitals still are struggling to get the medical equipment they need, more than a decade after warfare tore Yugoslavia apart.
That is why the Niles Rotary Club is lending a helping hand by hosting the Majestic Evening of Hope fundraiser tonight at the Fremont Marriott.
The club is getting a boost from some high-profile figures: NBA all-stars Peja Stojakovic and Vlade Divac; Kenneth Behring, founder of Blackhawk and the Wheelchair Foundation; and Prince Alexander and Princess Katherine of Serbia, whose titles are honorary.
Tickets are $150 or $250 for a special reception with Stojakovic, Divac, Behring and the prince and princess.
The keynote speaker will be Rick King, former president of Rotary International. Fremont Mayor Bob Wasserman also will attend.
Cocktails will begin at 6:30 p.m., with music performed by the Balkan folk music group Dunav. Dinner will be served at 7:30 p.m., followed by silent and live auctions of sports memorabilia at 9:30 p.m.
Proceeds will go to the Lifeline Foundation founded by Princess Katherine to buy medical equipment and wheelchairs for hospitals in Serbia. The princess said her foundation purchases and distributes the equipment based on needs identified by a committee.
The nonprofit recently raised $1 million for neonatal units, she said.

health system in which much of the medical equipment is either broken or decades old. Wheelchairs, in particular, are needed.
Tickets and information are available at http://www.MajesticEvening.com or by calling the Wheelchair Foundation at (925) 791-2340.
Fremont is home to a Serbian Orthodox monastery and there are sizable Serb communities in Northern California, including Sacramento, where former Sacramento Kings players Stojakovic and Divac live.
The two have founded charities aimed at helping needy children in their former homeland, the Group Seven Children's Foundation(cm cq and the Predrag Stojakovic Children's Foundation.
The princess said all of her country's ethnic and religious groups will benefit from the equipment that the fundraiser will make accessible to Serbian hospitals.
"I believe we are all God's children. This planet is very small," she said.
