grand opening sales to these two local charities.
The newest restaurant in the Gladstone’s
family opened with remarks by Long Beach Mayor Beverly O’Neill,
a performance by the USC Trojan Marching Band and a flag-raising
ceremony. Local business owners, supporters of the two organizations,
community leaders and Mayor O’Neill gathered to celebrate
the opening and help raise money by dining on some of Gladstone’s
popular seafood entrées.
“These two organizations are doing wonderful things for
the children of Long Beach and touch the three most important
people in my life,” says John Sangmeister, CEO of Gladstone’s
Long Beach, who met his wife sailing. “My sons are alive
today because of the loving and expert care they received in
the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Miller Children's Hospital.”
