You are One in a Million
Join our Bonnie J. Addario One in a Million Campaign
Every little bit matters. That’s why we’ve created a campaign that can build the financial thunder, one person at a time. Here’s how it works. If one million of YOU (and your friends, colleagues, and others), each donate $20, we’ll raise $20 million dollars–enough to accelerate the cure for Lung Cancer and bring the abysmal 15.5% survival rate up to where it should be after four decades at a standstill. When you e-mail us, we’ll send you a “One in a Million” kit, which includes mini-brochures, notepads, envelopes, sample letters, campaign buttons, and all you need to get the message out to your friends, colleagues and influencers. Every envelope will have your initials, and we’ll keep a tally daily–sending you a quick email update. Call 415.357.1278 with your mailing address or email sheila@lungcancerfoundation.org.

SAVE THE DATE, Monday, September 22, 2008 and join us this year at the private Lake Merced Golf and Country Club in Daly City, California to drive Lung Cancer Off the Earth.

Originally designed by Willy Lock in 1922, it was redesigned in 1929 under the guidance of fabled architect Alister MacKenzie and rerouted by Robert Muir Graves to create the basis of today’s championship layout. The course has hosted numerous events, including the 1990 Junior Amateur Championship which was Tiger Wood’s debut in USGA competition. Become a champion for Lung Cancer. Come back soon to register online or call 415.357.1278 to reserve your space.
Join us on November 15, 2008 to honor and pay tribute to the man who helped revolutionalize television news. Peter Jennings was a humanitarian in a hurry, ever curious and always willing to do whatever it took to get the job done, even when it meant putting himself in harm’s way. After speaking to a gathering of families of journalists killed in Iraq, he stayed behind to comfort the families, because he couldn’t let go of their anguish. The Foundation’s goal is to highlight creative, beautiful, wonderful, supportive and contributing people who happen to get Lung Cancer and leave this world too early. Kayce, Chris, and Lizzie Jennings will join us on November 15th, to honor the life of Peter Jennings, a great individual, husband and father, and one whom millions came to know over the years. Simply the Best Dinner Gala III will be held at the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco on November 15, 2008. For tickets and sponsorship information, please call 415.357.1278. The past two years have been sold out. Please make your reservations early. Tickets: $500. Tables: $5,000 and up.
It’s hard to believe we are turning two-years old today. It seems like only a few moments ago when I awoke to hear the devastating news about Dana Reeve. Two weeks ago, I was with Deborah Morosini, Dana’s sister, in Atlanta, to help the beautiful family of Joan Gaeta begin their

November 9, 2007 was a day and a night to remember. Michael Milken, chairman of Faster Cures, and the man Fortune Magazine said “changed medicine,” was the keynote speaker for the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation’s Summit for Survival. The world’s leading researchers, physicians, scientists and lung cancer survivors from all over the globe came together, under one roof, to collaborate and define comprehensive solutions to eradicate Lung Cancer, the number one cancer killer. By day, the creation of a viable and fundable strategic plan to accelerate treatments and develop a cure for lung cancer began. By night, the celebration of this first-time EVER strategy began with awards to Lung Cancer luminaries U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, Deborah Morosini, MD, sister of Dana Morosini Reeve, and more wonderful visionaries who promised the momentum will not end until Lung Cancer is eradicated.
