Winning the fight against cancer takes commitment from neighbors, business partners, town halls, and local establishments. “We invite everyone to please visit our webpage and join our effort to support our cause with monetary donations, or becoming one of our featured sponsors,” says Joe Leck, Administrative Manager. If you’d like to be a Food Sponsor by donating food directly, please email [email protected].
Everyone is affected by cancer in some way. A few years ago, Candy Raveis, wife of company founder William “Bill” Raveis, was diagnosed with acute myeloma leukemia. After decades of supporting breast cancer research, the William Raveis Charitable Fund (WRCF) broadened its commitment to funding research to find a cure for all forms of cancer.
They began in 2015 with their novel William Raveis Ride + Walk, an annual event that generated tremendous participation, drawing crowds of people every fall. There were exciting raffle prizes, along with large groups of walkers, cyclists, and music to make the day memorable for all ages. As successful as it was, their team was driven to reach more people across the company’s footprint at the local level. Today, WRCF hosts nearly 70 events annually and is growing. Together, they have raised over $4M for cancer research!
