Are We Missing A Date? CLICK HERE TO ADD YOUR EVENT
Lung Cancer is a devastating disease. Funding to develop improved screening, treatments and cures has been and continues to be woefully inadequate. We need to work together to improve awareness which in turn will hopefully will lead to more support for requests for state and federal funds. The purpose of this site is to provide all Lung Cancer event listings in one place. There are many worthwhile non-profit lung cancer advocacy sites but none list ALL events and some only list their own events.

Cocktails for a Cure will be hosted by Shannon Saumell, whose personal connection to lung cancer encouraged her to get involved. Shannon's aunt, Linda Hynes, was a lifelong New Jersey resident who was diagnosed with lung cancer in January 2004 and died just a short eight months later. A loving wife, mother and friend, Linda was described by her son, as "...caring, loving, strong, fun, energetic and confident...She will be truly missed, but she will live forever in those she has touched."
"My beautiful Aunt Linda was known by many as the life of the party whether it was a party of 2 or 200. Her favorite song was titled, I Hope You Dance. Her hope was for everyone to "dance" through life, so we started Linda's Hope in her memory. Join us as we celebrate her memory and raise funds for lung cancer research. And, in honor of my beautiful Aunt Linda, I HOPE YOU DANCE!"

Time To Talk
Pine Brook Country Club
Weston
2010-05-09
Join us as we spread the word about lung cancer at the first annual Uniting Against Lung Cancer Luncheon at the Pine Brook Country Club. The event was created to honor the memory of loved ones lost to lung cancer and celebrate local survivors.
The event will be co-chaired by advocates Meryl Bralower, Sondra Levenson and Stephanie Steinberg. Meryl, a lung cancer survivor, never smoker and a pioneer behind Uniting Against Lung Cancer New England, has been on a mission to raise the profile of lung cancer since her diagnosis in 2005. Sondra and Stephanie are honoring the memory of their sister and sister-in-law respectively, Marjorie E. Korff.
Uniting New England Luncheon - "It's Time to Talk"
Pine Brook Country Club
Weston
2010-05-19
Introducing the first annual Marjorie E. Korff SPEAK OUT! Award.
The award will be presented to Heather Unruh, WCVB Channel 5 Anchor, who has spotlighted lung cancer with her profiles of patients, research and treatments.
Help us as we spread the word about lung cancer at the first annual Uniting Against Lung Cancer Luncheon at the Pine Brook Country Club. The event was created to honor the memory of loved ones lost to lung cancer and celebrate local survivors.
This inaugural event will be co-chaired by Meryl Bralower, Sondra Levenson and Stephanie Steinberg. These women have become articulate advocates about the need to educate people about lung cancer. Too many associate this disease and its causes with smoking. This is simply not the case.
Meryl, a lung cancer survivor and never smoker, is one of the pioneers behind Uniting Against Lung Cancer New England. Since her diagnosis in 2005, Meryl's focus and mission has been to raise the profile of lung cancer and give it the attention it demands. Sondra and Stephanie have also been personally touched by this insidious disease. Sondra's sister and Stephanie's sister-in-law, Marjorie Korff, also a non-smoker, died of lung cancer in 2006. This event will celebrate Margie's life, as well as significantly increase awareness, encourage early detection, and fund ground breaking research. For more information about Margie please click here.
Join us! On May 19th we will announce two awards recognizing excellence in lung cancer research. Sponsoring one of these awards is a meaningful way to pay tribute to the life of a friend or family member or to celebrate a loved one’s survivorship. Contact us for more information about this special opportunity.
Sponsorship and Ticket information
Purchase sponsorships or tickets online or download a form and mail it with your payment.
If you are unable to attend but would like to support the luncheon please make a tax deductible donation online.
