Thirteenth annual Against The Tide one-mile swim, two-mile kayaking and three-mile fitness walk, benefiting the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition, will be held again at Hopkinton State Park in June and Nickerson State Park, Brewster in August. This fun and inspirational program brings together swimmers, kayakers and walkers of all ages and abilities who would like to join MBCC in eradicating the breast cancer epidemic.

Participants must raise a minimum of $150 in contributions to benefit the MBCC. Registration materials available at mbcc.org include tips for preparing for an open water swim, a safe walking experience, and a safe kayak experience. Also available is a sample fundraising letter for soliciting donations and a list of fundraising ideas to help participants increase their effectiveness in raising funds on line or by mail.

“Funds raised by the Against the Tide swims, walk and kayak are crucial to our work to save future generations from facing the growing statistic of breast cancer diagnoses. We want to identify ways to prevent breast cancer,” said Deborah Forter, Executive Director of MBCC. “This year in Massachusetts alone, approximately 4,700 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 900 will die from it. The fight to eradicate this disease is not over.”

Breast cancer now strikes more women in the world than any other type of cancer. In the past 50 years, the lifetime risk of breast cancer has nearly tripled in the United States. In the 1940’s, a woman’s lifetime risk of breast cancer was 1 in 22. In the year 2002, the risk was 1 in 8 and is now closely approaching 1 in 7.

“Things have changed over the past 13 years” says Against the Tide founder Maria Vetrano, who lost her mother Camille to breast cancer in 1978. “When we founded Against the Tide in 1993, there were no other events specifically for breast cancer and those affected. Now, there are many across the country. We are raising awareness focused on prevention,” she says. “MBCC is a grassroots organization dedicated to ending the breast cancer epidemic.”

The Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition is a nonprofit organization committed to stopping the breast cancer epidemic in Massachusetts through activism, advocacy, research and education. Founded in 1991, the MBCC’s focus is on finding the causes of breast cancer and seeking real prevention of this devastating disease.

There’s nothing better than starting the holiday season off with good cheer, good music and good friends. And… there’s no better place than at the 7th Annual Festival of (Giving) Trees.

On December 2nd the Festival of Giving Trees opened with an evening performance of the Holiday Choral Premier at Notre Dame Church comprised of talented singers and musicians. This was immediately followed by the Premier Viewing of a grand display of over seventy-five sparkling holiday decorated trees at Notre Dame Hall. Public viewing began on December 3rd. Many businesses, groups, organizations and individuals gave their time and talent by donating and decorating artificial Christmas trees of various sizes for display and raffle throughout the week.

Friday, December 3rd, was Senior Citizen Day which offered free admission to Senior citizens and a special seniors’ luncheon menu. Friday Evening featured the Gala Viewing Party.

Children’s Day, including the judging of the children’s trees, a special visit from a special someone and local teachers reading holiday stories took place on Saturday, December 4th.

Our final day and Tree Raffle drawing was Sunday, December 5th. We also held a drawing for a 2005 Toyota Corolla CE or 50/50 Raffle. Tickets were available at Tri-State Toyota-Scion-Dodge, Southbridge Savings Bank, and Big Bunny Market.

Fundraising efforts benefit Silent Spring Institute (dedicated to studying the environmental causes of cancer), Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition and the Harrington Memorial Hospital Education and Resource Center (dedicated to assisting local cancer patients with transportation, medicine, babysitting and other services).

Thank you for joining us in making this another successful Holiday Fundraiser. Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Mashpee, MA – Beyond Beauty’s Wellness "Beaut-a-thon" on December 5, 2004 raises money for Silent Spring Institute.

On Sunday, December 5, 2004 from 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m., a Wellness "Beaut-a-thon" was hosted by Beyond Beauty, an Aveda concept day spa/salon located in the Mashpee Commons. The spa offered a multitude of services - including hair, makeup, massage, and nails- for a donation of $10 per service. All of the proceeds were donated to Silent Spring Institute.

Joy Pineo, owner of Beyond Beauty, lost her mother to breast cancer and is a strong supporter of Silent Spring. Since Beyond Beauty’s opening in 1997, Joy has worked closely with Cheryl Osimo, Silent Spring Institute’s Cape Cod Coordinator.

Joy chose to be an Aveda Concept day spa/salon not only for Aveda’s ideals and standards, but also for how passionately they are represented in all of their products and services. "Aveda’s art and science of pure flower and plant essences calls for ingredients of the highest integrity. Sourcing these ingredients from traditional communities around the world allows Aveda to connect its mission of environmental and social responsibility," says Dominique Conseil, president of Aveda. Though Aveda consistently uses as little of "non-natural" ingredients as possible in all of their products, Dominique is still not satisfied. He has a set an extremely challenging goal for himself and for Aveda – being able to produce products that are "100% natural".

The Seventh Annual Breast Cancer POWERWALK was held on Sunday, October 31 in Newton. The POWERWALK is a 3.5-mile, family friendly walk that began and ended at the parking lot for 1340 Centre Street in Newton Center, home of Hurricane Voices.

Co-founded by Newton residents Cindy Kropp and Rob Shapiro, the POWERWALK has, to date, raised more than $87,000 for Silent Spring Institute.

Registration began at 9 a.m., followed by the walk at 9:30. Individual walkers as well as teams of family members, neighbors, co-workers, or friends participated. A minimum contribution of $50 in pledges was required to participate.
