 The historic Enterprise Building in downtown San Bernardino was momentarily transported to a dazzling, high-stakes era this past Saturday evening, as Pinups4Cancer hosted its annual, inspirational vintage glam fundraiser. Held in the elegant 320 Premier Hall, the event was a captivating display of beauty, resilience, and unwavering community support—and City News Group was honored to be a part of the movement.

The atmosphere was electric as guests embraced the murder mystery theme, stepping onto the red carpet in full vintage regalia. Inside, the energy flowed between exciting casino games, a delightful dinner, and engaging, dramatic murder mystery segments—all set to captivating music. True to the pinup aesthetic, the sight of classic cars parked outside enhanced the nostalgic, glamorous occasion, setting the perfect stage for a night of magic.
