Fundraisers for Cancer Awareness and Support Offer Purses with Purpose and Tennis Tournament
March 30, 2017 – (Key West, FL). On Saturday, April 8, Suzanne Moore hosts her 5th Annual Purse and Jewelry Auction at the Key West Yacht Club from 3:00pm – 6:00pm to benefit both American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Cancer and The Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys. The fundraiser will feature an afternoon of champagne with live, silent, and Chinese auctions offering exceptionally-good deals on new and gently used designer bags and purses.
Money raised for the two groups focus on specific cancer needs: Making Strides Against Cancer focuses on breast cancer research needed to advance treatment and to promote awareness of options for women diagnosed with breast cancer while The Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys focuses on offering financial support to cancer patients, such as transportation costs to Miami for treatment, and rent, mortgage, food, and utilities costs.
“As a nine-year breast cancer survivor, I understand the importance of both of these nonprofit organizations,” says event organizer Moore. “We need to raise money to continue awareness and find a cure, and we also really need to raise the money to help those individuals who are in need locally.”
Moore would like to raise at least $10,00 to help supplement The Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys $40,000 local funding loss this year.
“All of the money that is raised by the Cancer Foundation of The Florida Keys stays here in the Keys and helps those individuals who are going through cancer treatment,” says Moore. “Their motto is “What we raise stays”.”
A second fundraiser will take place at Bayview Park on Sunday, April 9 at 8.00am. Island city Tennis will be hosting a tennis tournament at 8 AM for all levels both Male and Female. The entry fee is $30 and all proceeds go to the Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys. Please call Paul Findlay at Island City tennis to sign up: 305-294-1346.
