RE: Request for Proposal
Each year, for the past 23 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 $1.3 million has been raised for research and other cancer related endeavors.
The 24th Annual Cancer Fundraiser to support this cause will be held on Saturday, February 18,
2012.
2011’s proceeds of over $88,600 were awarded to five recipients. The Loyola University Medical Center is aiming to develop a novel therapeutic approach design to kill cancer stem cells, Mayo Clinic is focusing on the advantages of gold nanoparticles to deliver chemotherapy directly to tumor cells, University of Texas is implementing a comprehensive program called “The Road To Wellness” to educate and empower cancer survivors, Kenneth S. Cohen, M.D. is studying the microenvironment of the tumor of patients with lymphoma with hopes of new treatment strategies, and University of Hawaii is working to explain the process during the long latency period between initial exposure to asbestos and the development of malignant mesothelioma.
Should your organization desire to be a recipient of proceeds raised from the 24th Annual Cancer
Fundraiser? Please complete and submit the enclosed Request for Proposal (RFP) on or before December 4, 2011. (Please use additional pages if necessary.) You may also download the RFP from our website:
www.united-4.com. If a completed RFP cannot be submitted by December 4, 2011, please submit a preliminary proposal with a date indicating when the completed RFP will be submitted. Notice of the charity chosen will be made
January 10, 2012 and the actual award of proceeds (projected to be between $5,000 and $25,000) made by approximately July 15, 2012.
Remember, only cancer-related projects or activities will be
considered. Thank you in advance for your participation.
Sincerely,
