Boarding for Breasts!!


The Maurer Foundation’s Social Committee’s first Mount Snow Trip was a huge success raising close to $6,000-we can’t wait to do it again next year!!!
From tearing up the slopes to getting down at the Snow Barn our group had a great time and represented The Maurer Foundation with pride. We’d like to thank everyone who came on the trip; it could not have been as successful or fun without a great group like you guys!!!

Flamingo Bowl’s Sweet Success!!

The Maurer Foundation’s March 14th Flamingo Bowl event raised close to $20,000 to benefit breast health education.  The first time Sunday afternoon event held at 300 Long Island was well received by 91 amateur kingpins.
Happily all the participants enjoyed two games of bowling and many laughs. The overall consensus from the majority was they forgot how much fun bowling is and can be! The Melville based bowling alley did a wonderful job providing pizza, vegetable platters and fresh fruit for our guests.
A few of our lucky raffle winners left the event with an autographed NY Jets Football, tickets to an Islander Game, a pink leather Radley handbag and a $250 gift card to Americana Manhasset.
Many thanks to all, but in particular to our Lucky Strike Sponsors Capital One Bank, Nassau Radiological Group, and The Charles B. Wang International Foundation.

Networking

For the past few months, our program staff has been busy networking with corporations throughout Long Island and New York City. Last month we went to an American Business Associates (ABA) event at the Venetian Yacht Club in Babylon, NY. It was a fabulous event and we were able to connect with executives from companies like Capital One Bank, Leviton, and Bernstein Global Wealth Management. We continue to receive positive feedback and a lot of encouragement about what we do at the Maurer Foundation, and the positive affect we have on the community.

Sharing His Story of Breast Cancer

I’m a big fan of listening to the news on the radio since I spend so much time in the car commuting. I recently heard something on 1010Wins about one of their editors having breast cancer. HIS name is Phil Pilato and he’s been kind enough to write a blog about his battle with cancer.
He discusses things anyone battling breast cancer will have to deal with like the initial diagnosis, treatment and surgery. The story takes a more personal turn with things specific to the relatively small group of men diagnosed. Things like how to tell his family, the stigma attached to the disease for men and even dealing with an ailing mother in the process of treatment.
The purpose of sharing his story is to help others in their battle and to bring more attention to approximately 1,700 men diagnosed with breast cancer each year.
