Did you know that:
- Brain tumors are the most common cause of solid tumor cancer death in children?
- Every day 15 new families learn that their child has brain cancer?
- There are at least 3 children in the Town of New Castle that have recently received this diagnosis?
Taking a stand for our youngest victims by funding targeted pediatric brain cancer research is the goal of A Kids’ Brain Tumor Cure Foundation and on Sunday, March 16th, 2014 (from 2:00 – 4:00pm) we will be holding our 4th Annual “Think Fit For Kids” Family Fitness and Fun Festival at Club Fit (Briarcliff Manor) to raise funds and awareness for this insidious disease.
Over the past 4 years, this event, which is attended by nearly 500 participants and volunteers, has raised over $550,000 in monetary donations and has received over $100,000 in ‘in-kind’ contributions (food, beverages, merchandise, gift cards, etc.) from local Town of New Castle individuals, families, merchants and celebrities. Think Fit For Kids illuminates the collaborative and committed community in which we live and work, and of which we should all be proud to be a member. But, as you know, research is expensive! As such, we aim to make Think Fit For Kids 2014 our most successful fundraiser to date! If we reach our goal of raising $350,000 in 2014, together, we will have raised over $1 MILLION to fight pediatric brain cancer. That’s pretty amazing. It takes a village and this village really rocks!!! Please see the invitation and join us for what is sure to be a day of hope and inspiration for all who attend (and if you have attended in the past, you know we always have a few surprises up our sleeve!)
