Uniting Against Lung Cancer “Kites for a Cure”
05/23/2009 - By Southampton Beach
FIVE HUNDRED FAMILIES GATHERED TO FLY KITES ON SOUTHAMPTON BEACH THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
* * *
“Kites for a Cure” Kicked Off 2009 Hamptons Season Raising Nearly $60,000 To Benefit Uniting Against Lung Cancer
This Memorial Day Weekend, 500 families took part in “Kites for a Cure,” a family kite fly benefit on Coopers Beach in Southampton, NY. The event was held on Saturday, May 23rd from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. and raised nearly $60,000 for Uniting Against Lung Cancer, which raises awareness and funds innovative lung cancer research around the country.
“The third annual Kites for a Cure proved to be another huge success -- the hundreds of families flying kites on our beautiful beach was a truly inspiring sight,” said Mark Epley, Mayor of the Village of Southampton. Mr. Epley served as the Honorary Commodore of the event, having lost his father to lung cancer just five years ago.
For a $25 donation each guest received a high-quality kite, which they decorated themselves with drawings, pictures, messages and names of loved ones who are currently battling the disease or have passed away from lung cancer. The money raised will support Uniting Against Lung Cancer’s national lung cancer research grant program.
“Through this uplifting and fun family event, we hope to raise awareness of the need for research into diagnosis and treatment for all those affected by lung cancer,” said Susan C. Mantel, the foundation’s Executive Director.
Uniting Against Lung Cancer (formerly Joan’s Legacy) was founded in 2001 in memory of Joan Scarangello, a Southampton resident and non-smoker who lost her battle with lung cancer. In just seven years, the foundation has awarded $5 million in research grants to identify the causes, new treatments, and possible cures for the disease that will claim an estimated more than 160,000 lives in the U.S. this year.
Lung cancer will kill more Americans this year than ¬¬colon, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers combined, and more women than breast, uterine and ovarian cancers combined. Yet it receives less federal research funding per death than any of the other major cancers.
Uniting Against Lung Cancer, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization headquartered in New York, has grown under the direction of Joan Scarangello’s family and friends to become one of the leading sources of funding for lung cancer research in the country. Increasingly joined by like-minded organizations and families, Uniting Against Lung Cancer is recognized for spurring new and innovative research projects – ideas that wouldn’t get off the ground without the seed funding Uniting Against Lung Cancer provides – the foundation has quickly become the venture capital source for important research into the disease. www.UnitingAgainstLungCancer.org
