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.

You may contact me via email at: [email protected] or phone

Thank you for your time and consideration.

“We’re Counting on You” Rally with MoveOn.Org

Sen. Bill Nelson’s Office Okechobee and Austrailian Ave, WPB, 500 Australian Avenue suite 125 (Map)
West Palm Beach, FL 33401
Wednesday, October 14th, 12:00 PM

A few weeks ago, conservatives declared the public option dead.

They were wrong.

The public option has serious momentum in Congress—and with huge votes imminent, it all comes down to the next few weeks.¹

Every single senator who supports the public option, including Senator Nelson, will have to stand up and fight like hell throughout these weeks—and we need to show Sen. Nelson we’ll be right there, ready to fight with him.

So on Wednesday, we’re holding a “We’re Counting On You!” rally in West Palm Beach. Can you come to the rally? 

Here’s the link to RSVP:

http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/event.html?event_id=98977&id=17478-4094562-79lKApx&t=3

Seeing a big crowd of voters out in full support of a strong public option is just what Sen. Nelson needs heading into these final, intense weeks of the health care fight.

Rallies like these are a lot of fun—a great way to connect with other progressives in the community. And they’re powerful: at the rally, you’ll hear from speakers personally impacted by our broken health care system—from people denied care by unaccountable insurance companies to small business owners forced to decide between laying off workers or cutting health benefits.

The public option is gaining steam. Just yesterday, 30 U.S. Senators sent a letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid urging him to include a public option in the Senate bill.² On the House side, a strong bloc of progressives in the House say they will only support a bill with a public option.³

But we haven’t won yet—and Big Insurance and other opponents of real reform are spending millions to scuttle the number one priority of progressive Democrats and President Obama.

Right now, it’s time to pull out all the stops and show our support like never before. We need to come out in full force on Wednesday to show we’re ready to fight together.

Thanks for all you do.
