The United Peachtree Corners Civic Association will host a Food and Wine Pairing event to raise money for Cindy Martinez who is fighting a rare and serious flesh-eating infection known as necrotizing fasciitis. The event to be held 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, July 30, at Atlanta Bread Company at the Forum shopping center, will accept donations for the family and include a silent auction.

Cindy and David have two small children, requiring Martinez to take a leave of absence from the police department to care for his children while Cindy fights off the infection and recovers from recent amputations of her feet and one hand.
