Kevin Shine's SAA 1-Mile Swim 2023
Friends and Family,
This July 30, 2023 marks my 22nd year with Swim Across America. This is another huge milestone for our SAA work here on Long Island, and I am asking my friends to help me reach my goal of $20K !
Please know, any donation is appreciated, and thank you for your prayers and consideration !
Swim Across America Nassau/Suffolk has raised over $12M since we began our efforts here on Long Island, and we hope to cross the $13M mark this year !
As part of Team ”Our Answer to Cancer”, we swim in Memory and Honor of so many friends affected by Cancer. This year I swim in Memory of my Father-in-law, Anthony Cavalcante, and in Honor of my cousin, Tim Guest and 3 good friends battling cancer, Ron Herbinger, Kerry Meeks and Mark Blomquist. Our prayers are with all of our friends and family members who battle this devastating disease, the brilliant research scientists helping DEFEAT CANCER, and all the compassionate caregivers that support those continuing to fight.
I want folks to know that your donations are going to support some of the most dedicated and renowned beneficiaries in the world of cancer research, treatment and prevention. They include Memorial Sloan Kettering, Weill Cornell Medicine, Cold Spring Harbor Lab, The University of Texas MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital (The Stacey Leondis Fellowship), The Feinstein Institute at Northwell Health, and SHARE Cancer Support. The team at SAA Nassau/Suffolk Long Island is an all-volunteer team, dedicated to maximizing the direct donations to our beneficiaries. Since our start in 2002, over 81% of every dollar raised goes directly to the cause… That is truly world-class.
We are making a huge difference in the Fight against cancer, and I appreciate your consideration and any donation you feel appropriate. And please pass along to any friends who may want to help or join our swim.
You can make a secure credit card donation … Just use the Blue DONATE NOW Button toward the Top Right.
