RE: Request for Proposal
Each year, for the past 21 years, Riviera
Country Club and Sports Center and Pinnacle Custom Homes has
sponsored and underwritten a dinner/dance and a week of other club
events to raise funds for use in the "fight against
cancer." During this time, over $1.2 million has been
raised for research and other cancer related endeavors. The
22nd Annual Cancer Fundraiser to support this cause will be held on
Saturday, February 20, 2010.
This year’s proceeds of over $105,000.00
were awarded to four recipients: Loyola University Medical Center
received funds to develop new strategies that utilize and enhance
the effectiveness of immunotherapy in combating Metastatic Melanoma;
University of Chicago’s funds will be used to study the mechanism
and progression of the spread of pancreatic cancer and what role
that a specific gene plays; Cancer Research Center of Hawaii is
using the funds to identify the gene that makes some people more
susceptible to asbestos carcinogenesis and at high risk of the
disease; and Mayo Clinic will be using their funding to add all of
its pre-existing pancreatic cancer tissue samples into the data base
for streamlined access by researchers around the world
Should your organization desire to be a
recipient of proceeds raised from the 22nd Annual Cancer Fundraiser,
please complete and submit the enclosed Request for Proposal (RFP) on
or before November 20, 2009 (please use additional pages if
necessary.) You may also download the RFP from our website:
www.united-4.com. If a
completed RFP can not be submitted by November 20, 2009, please
submit a preliminary proposal with a date indicating when the
completed RFP will be submitted. Notice of the charity
chosen will be made December 15, 2009 and the actual award of
proceeds (projected to be between $5,000 and $40,000) made by
approximately May 15, 2010.
Remember, only cancer-related projects
or activities will be considered. Thank you in advance for
your participation.
Sincerely,
