2008 TAILGATE FOR A CAUSE

The 2008 Tailgate For A Cause netted $4,200, and was held at three concert locations – East Troy, WI, and Noblesville, IN (two nights). Funds raised were split between Susan G Komen For The Cure and the Avon Foundation.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure has invested more than $1 billion since inception in 1982. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, they’re working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all, and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events and generous contributions from their partners, sponsors, and fellow supporters, they have become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world

The Avon Foundation has implemented a sophisticated and comprehensive need-based philanthropic strategy that addresses every facet of the disease. Recognizing the complexity of the problem of breast cancer among all groups of women, the Avon Foundation is distinguished from most other donors that fund a single institution or scientific investigator by supporting a virtual national network of research, medical, social service and community-based organizations, each of which is making a unique contribution to helping patients or advancing breast cancer research. The Avon Foundation awards funding in breast cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment, support services and scientific research, including prevention and therapeutic vaccine studies.

Total raised for the 3 shows in 2008 was $4,200.
