Our Accomplishments

Over our 25 years history, we have been able to raise over $275,000!

Along with the the many friends, businesses and a few celebrity guests, such as NHL Hall Of Famers: Ray Bourque, Bobby Orr, and Bobby Carpenter we have helped Mass General Hospital Boston to help those who suffer from cancer.

Inside the Mass General Outpatient Cancer Center in Danvers, Mass, we are humbled to have a room dedicated in the memory of our Founding Father, John L. McGuirk, that helps the next patient diagnosed with cancer sooner rather than later. A room that can help make a difference in numerous people's lives.

In the mid 1990's the cancer survival rate has increased nearly 25% in men and nearly 15% in woman. Even though we have come along way in the fight against cancer, we still have a long road ahead, but with your help we can end cancer once and for all!

Cancer is not prejudice!

It effects each and everyone of us!

As cancer research has come a long way, it is still fact, that we have a long battle in front of us. There is so much to learn about cancer. Every step in the right direction is a step in changing someone’s life forever.

With some of the best doctors and medical professionals right here in Boston, with your help, as well as myself, we will one day reach our goal of ending cancer once and for all.

The Facts: According to the National Cancer Institute

Approximately 589,430 Americans are expected to die of cancer every year, about 1,600 people a day.
In 2015, almost 171,000 of the estimated 589,430 cancer deaths in the U.S. will be caused by tobacco smoking.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death among all Americans, exceeded only by heart disease.
In the U.S., one out of every four deaths is attributed to cancer.
Over the course of a lifetime, one in three women and one in two men will develop cancer.
About 78 percent of all cancers are diagnosed in patients aged 55 or older.
The leading cancer for men of all races is prostate cancer, following by lung cancer and colorectal cancer.
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women, regardless of race.
Among white women, lung cancer is the second most common cancer followed by colorectal cancer.
For black and Asian/Pacific Islander women, colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer and lung cancer is third.
More than one million cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer will be diagnosed this year.
Among children aged 14 and younger, the most common cancers are leukemias.
Overall, cancer rates are higher for whites and blacks than for Asians/Pacific Islanders.
Approximately 5 percent of cancers are hereditary.
The five-year relative survival rate for all cancers is 86 percent. That means that 14 percent of all patients diagnosed with cancer survive less than five years.
Survival rates have risen to 68 percent in 2004-2010, up from 49 percent in 1975-1977.
In 2008, the overall cost of cancer was an estimated $228.1 billion, including $93.2 billion in direct medical costs.
