Who's ready for PAR 4 THE CURE 2023?!  We netted $50,000 from last year's event, and after The Cancer Couch match, $100,000 went directly to the labs at MSK and Dana Farber Cancer Institute, exclusively for metastatic breast cancer research! We couldn’t have done it without YOU!
​

As you know, we try to outdo ourselves each year, and so you're in store for an even more spectacular event for 2023!  We have 3 food trucks this year for lunch alone, and we have Citrus and Rye and Links Drinks supplementing the already robust drink service from Oxford Greens!  So, come hungry and ready to have a fantastic time!  In addition, our spectacular live auctioneer will be raising the roof again this year! ​

​There is no cure for Stage 4 Breast Cancer. More than 42,000 people die each year from Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) in the US alone-- our mother Judy Levin was one such casualty. Very little of the funding for breast cancer research goes to Metastatic Breast Cancer.  So, we were determined to design a creative fundraising campaign to raise money. Judy was a beloved baker/cook even throughout her 6-year battle with MBC.  
Her kitchen was a communal table for family, friends and even strangers to embrace the tastes and love emanating from her dishes. After receiving multiple requests for Judy’s recipes over the decades, her  daughters, Shari and Stacy, realized they could spread Judy’s culinary love- all in the name of MBC research.  And so, in 2012, the Bake it Happen campaign was born.

​​The Beth Calabotta Swim Challenge was started by friends and family of our beloved Beth, whom we lost to MBC in 2017. Her legacy continues through this awesome swim, which is now a registered event through the US Masters program. Beth swam even when her ribs were broken, because her spirit never, ever was. She inspires me and so many to pick our heads back up and live while we are still alive, no matter what. All proceeds, per one of Beth's final requests, go to The Cancer Couch Foundation. For more info on how to host a swim challenge at a pool near you, or join an existing one, contact Carrie Company for info about this US Masters registered swim challenge! [email protected]
