So that we might celebrate the lives of those touched by cancer, Academy for Cancer Wellness is organizing a bus trip to the September 13, 2009 WNBA Phoenix Mercury game against the Los Angeles Sparks. The day trip to the US Airways Center in Phoenix will be a rally of support for individuals facing cancer as a patient, loved one, or caregiver/supporter. As cancer can be a great financial burden on all who are touched by the disease, we are asking generous business owners to sponsor individuals and families in our celebration of life.
Academy for Cancer Wellness, Inc., is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization established in 1995 by Alice F Chang, along with John J Welker and his wife, the late Gertrude Welker. Its purpose is to provide support for cancer wellness—for cancer survivors and for their family and friends. The academy’s mission is to spread awareness of the many people who have faced the challenge for cancer and emerged triumphant; to provide means for these cancer champions to rally amongst themselves for mutual strength and support; to provide funding for research toward the promotion of cancer wellness; and to provide modest financial support for the working poor and under-insured cancer patients.
Your sponsorship will allow one or more individuals to journey with us to Phoenix on September 13. Each attendee’s package will include round-trip bus fare originating in Tucson, one lower-level arena ticket to the game (with a $43 face value), a Phoenix Mercury jersey-style drawstring bag, a special pre-game meeting with Ann Meyers Drysdale, a special welcome for ACW members and friends, and a modest donation to ACW’s Under-insured Cancer Patients’ Endowment Fund.
Individual sponsorships packages are available for $40; though we encourage you to purchase in pairs—or more—so that our cancer champions can attend with those supporting them in their struggle. Also, feel free to join us in our celebration by purchasing tickets for yourself and your loved ones. For your convenience, we have included an order form that you can return by fax or, if paying by check, by mail to the ACW office. Please note whether you are purchasing tickets to attend the event or to sponsor a cancer champion’s attendance.
Sincerely yours,
Alice F Chang
President
