CURE Childhood Cancer Association recently delivered a brand new 2011 Vespa scooter to Maryalice Keller of Fairport. Maryalice was this year’s winner in CURE’s 5th annual Vespa raffle, which raised over $12,500 in support of CURE’s programs.
For the 5th year, Fairport-based Country Rode Motowerks donated the Vespa, valued at over $3,000, and raffle tickets were sold at Parkleigh on Park Avenue, as well as through other local retailers.
“The money raised through this partnership will help us continue to provide financial assistance, counseling and other services to the many families that have come to depend on us as they go through cancer treatment with their children,” said Brian Wirth, Executive Director of CURE Childhood Cancer Association. “These local businesses recognize that if we are to be a strong community, they must give back to those they serve,” he added.
Proceeds from the raffle will be used by CURE to continue to provide counseling to families whose children have been diagnosed with childhood cancer.
Founded in 1976, CURE provides emotional, educational and financial assistance to area families whose children are being treated at Golisano Children’s Hospital at Strong. For more that 35 years, CURE has been helping to ease the emotional pain associated with childhood cancer every day during every stage of cancer. For more information, visit curekidscancer.com.
