EVENT SPOTLIGHT

Proceeds earmarked to ease  financial burden of cancer care for area patients

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Space Coast Cancer Foundation has received resolutions from the Brevard County Commission, the City of Cocoa Beach, the City of Tiusville and the City of Cocoa, proclaiming Saturday, March 20, 2010 as “Rally Against Cancer Day.”

“The Proclamation is a kick off to our second annual Rally Against Cancer Poker Run and Reverse Raffle to give away a Harley Davidson motorcycle,” said Space Coast Cancer Center Executive Director Debbie Bissland.

“The event will start with the Poker Run at our Titusville office, and then travel throughout the county ending up at a picnic at the Harley Davidson dealership in Palm Bay where we will have a reverse raffle – with the last ticket drawn winning the Harley. We will be selling only 500 tickets to win the 2010 motorcycle.”

The Space Coast Cancer Center Foundation is the fund raising and charitable arm of Space Coast Cancer Center, and is a separately incorporated, not-for-profit organization dedicated to its mission of providing need-based support to ease the financial burden of cancer care.

“This year we are promoting the Rally county-wide, and are seeking sponsors and vendors as we would love to raise enough money to buy a passenger van needed to transport patients for their treatments,” said Bissland.

In addition to Rally Against Cancer, the Foundation sponsors activities throughout the year including the YMCA Mini-Triathlon, Pamper Me, Please Spa Day, SCCF Golf Scramble, Fashion Show in honor of Dorothy Nabit and the Daffodil Gala.

For information call 264–4200, ext. 3500, or log on to www.RallyAgainstCancer.net. If you have an interest in volunteering your services for the event call 321-264-5504.
