Dear Friends,
Thank you for your contributions to the 2015 Against the Tide events held in Hopkinton, MA and Brewster, MA. At the Against the Tide 2015 events, breast cancer prevention supporters have raised an impressive $140,505 with more fundraising dollars coming! The value of your support cannot be quantified, nor can our immense gratitude. When passionate individuals join together for a common cause like you did on June 20th and August 15th, we get a glimpse of our vision of a better world for our children, grandchildren, and future generations.
Because of you – our volunteers, athletes, and sponsors – the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC) can more effectively provide better community education, greater research advocacy, and additional changes to public policy in order to move toward our goal of breast cancer prevention.
Against the Tide fundraising directly supports MBCC’s statewide Let’s Talk Prevention: Reducing Toxic Exposures educational program, the only one of its kind. This program increases discussions about environmental exposures between health professionals and patients, and enables us to support communities throughout Massachusetts by helping them reduce exposure to chemicals of concern.
The more money we raise, the more people we can reach. We remind you that fundraising pages will remain open and accepting pledges until November 20 for both the Against the Tide Hopkinton and Against the Tide Brewster events. You can also mail your pledges directly to MBCC: PO Box 222, Rockland, MA 02370.
We hope that your experience at Against the Tide was everything that you expected it would be. In order to insure that the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition continues to prosper through events like Against the Tide, we welcome your comments. If you have suggestions for future Against the Tide events, please email them to cosimo@mbcc.org.
The Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition staff and Board of Directors express our sincerest appreciation for your support. Because of you, we are inspired to press on toward a world where breast cancer no longer robs families of their loved ones.
We hope to see you again at our Against the Tide events in Hopkinton on June 18, 2016 and on Cape Cod on August 20, 2016.
With heartfelt thanks and appreciation,
Cheryl Osimo
Executive Director
