Fundraiser Event to Benefit Acreage Cancer Cluster Residents
We would like to tell you about a community here in Palm Beach County. Many companies are open to helping with more well known causes, and not helping the smaller ones to help our neighbors where we live. We are currently trying to help the families in The Acreage who are dealing with brain cancer in their children and spouses. If you would be interested in participating in a Black Tie Event in Wellington for this community please read on. Thank you.
The Cahill Foundation is a Non-profit company that works on environmental causes and projects. A repercussion of a contaminated environment is a Cancer Cluster. Currently The Acreage, Florida a community near Royal Palm Beach and Wellington, Florida, is under a Cancer Cluster Investigation. Most investigations for possible cancer clusters do not make it past a Level I investigation. This community was recently moved into a Level II phase of the investigation due to results from the Level I findings. These findings concluded that there is a higher number of cancer cases in this community than what there should be statistically. The most alarming increase is in pediatric brain cancer and tumor cases. The Acreage has already lost too many children and adults to cancer, and while the investigation is still ongoing for a definite answer as to causes, families are still in need of assistance.
Families dealing with cancer, even with insurance still have large amounts of medical bills they are struggling with. Many families, like so many others in the country have lost their jobs or at least one parent or family member has had to take Leaves of Absence to care for a child, husband or wife undergoing Chemotherapy Treatments and Surgeries.
Only time will tell if this area is finally declared a Cancer Cluster, but until then the government can not help these families. The Acreage is one of the western communities in Palm Beach County, they are our neighbors. So often we reach out to help people all over the world, we can also help those who live closest to us.
The Cahill Foundation cordially invites you to join us at our Black Tie Dinner to benefit the Families of The Acreage. If you would like to participate in any way, through purchasing tickets, sponsorship or donating for the silent auction, or at the event, please let me know and I will send you more information.
