ON ANOTHER NOTE!

I am very pleased to say that the success of the Pink Pumpkin Pedal-Off fundraising cycling event held last October allowed the non-profit Power of 2

to present Dr. Jon Licht and the U.F. cancer center with a check for

$20,000 in December.  These funds will go to the researchers, to help find more effective treatments for triple negative breast cancer.  This year's event will be on October 1st, and we are always looking for committed volunteers and sponsors.

 

Feel free to forward this to anyone who might be interested in joining us, but we need RSVPs by Monday February 22nd, to include those attending in the lunch count ($4 donation requested).
