Jupiter, FL (PRWEB) February 07, 2013
Get Fit for Scripps Day! will come to an exciting high point Feb. 10, 2013, when the inaugural Research Ride to benefit cancer research at Scripps Florida kicks off.
The Research Ride will bring together recreational bicyclists for a 19-mile cruise through Palm Beach Gardens, along the oceanfront condos in Juno Beach and up into the town of Jupiter. Waterfront Properties and Club Communities agents and staff members have joined the cause and have the largest team of riders to date.
Rob Thomson, managing partner of the licensed brokerage, has sponsored each rider by covering the $ 250 fundraising commitment. With 20 riders signed up, the amount donated comes to $ 5,000.
Your team is the largest group in the ride, which, by the way, I think is awesome, Research Ride Director Janet Angeletti said.
The Research Ride is one of several events unfolding between Feb. 9 and 14 and is part of the PGA National Womens Cancer Awareness Days charity initiative. Other activities include a 5K walk / run, spin sessions, yoga classes, a youth biathlon Splash & Dash, golf, tennis, croquet and table games.
The ride begins at 8 a.m. at the PGA National Health & Racquet Club. Bicyclists will arrive at 7:30 a.m. for check-in. Breakfast will be available, and T-shirts and goodie-filled bags will be handed out to participants. Committee members of the PGA National Womens Cancer Awareness Days will award prizes to those who raise the most money.
The committee, which is made up of 32 volunteers, was founded by Elaine Solomon and Barbara Sedransk. The first year, they had a golf tournament, and each year since then, new events have been added to the mix including the Research Ride.
The team from Waterfront Properties includes David Abernathy, Jessica Alden, Alison Archer, Beth Bourque, Natalya Daley, Laurie Elliott, Jerry Mitchell, Betsy Munson, Courtney Olander, Erik and Michelle Pariseleti, Carola Rathke, Matthew Steinhoff, Isabel Stephenson, Sarah Thomson and Karen Walsh, as well as their friends and family members.
The PGA National Womens Cancer Awareness Days brings together more than 750 participants whose support helps fund fellowships at Scripps Floridas Department of Cancer Biology.
We wanted to put the money directly into cancer research and felt that Scripps Florida, a not-for-profit organization, was doing the most exciting, intensive kinds of research that can make a real difference in the lives of cancer patients and survivors…and theyre doing it right here, as members in our own community, Solomon said.
In 2012, a total of $ 160,000 was raised, which helped fund three fellowships.
To meet and visit with the funded scientists is thrilling and provides assurance all contributions are directly supporting research, Solomon said.
The Gardens Mall, near The Landmark condos for sale in Palm Beach Gardens, is Premiere Sponsor this year.
Scripps Florida is on Florida Atlantic Universitys Jupiter campus, adjacent to Abacoa. It is part of The Scripps Research Institute, a worldwide nonprofit organization focused on biomedical science.

JUPITER, Fla. (PRWEB) December 11, 2012
The Hospice of Palm Beach County Foundation will Party with the Stars on Dec. 14 at PGA National.
From 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., a cocktail reception will take place in conjunction with the fourth-annual Swing with the Stars Celebrity Pro-Am Golf Tournament on Dec. 15. Proceeds will benefit Hospice of Palm Beach Countys programs and services.
Hospice of Palm Beach County is a nonprofit provider of end-of-life care for area residents and offers a wide range of programs that aid adults, children and families in dealing with the death of a loved one. The goal of the foundation is to generate resources, raise money and recruit volunteers for the organization.
Party with the Stars will feature a sassy and spunky speakeasy theme and will offer fine food and signature drinks. Cost to attend is $ 250.
Silent-auction items guests can bid on include luxury spa packages, vacation stays, exquisite jewelry, golf outings and a backstage tour of NBCs Today show. Matt Lauer, the celebrity host of Today, has strong ties to Hospice of Palm Beach County, as his late father, Jay Lauer, was cared by its nurses before his death. For several years after that, the younger Lauer sponsored a memorial golf tournament at The Breakers in Palm Beach that teemed with sports celebrities.
Swing with the Stars gets underway at 7:30 a.m. Dec. 15 and will include a host of local notables, including Olin Browne, who lives in Hobe Sound, Mark Calcavecchia, who owns riverfront Property in Tequesta, and Michelle McGann, who grew up in one of the beachy homes on Singer Island. Cost to play is $ 1,000, which includes a pair of tickets to the previous nights festivities.
The golf tournament is limited to 100 players and will take place on the newly redesigned Fazio course. The Fazio course is one of five offered at the Palm Beach Gardens development and previously was named The Haig in honor of PGA legend Walter Hagen.
Following a complimentary breakfast that will be served at 7 a.m., golfers will have a chance to win cash prizes during the exciting helicopter ball drop. A luncheon and awards ceremony will follow the day of play.
Other professional golfers signed up to play include Beth Bader, Jean Bartholomew, Bob Murphy, Alena Sharp and Jackie Gallagher Smith. Football standout Steve Walsh also will participate.
Waterfront Properties and Club Communities is a leading purveyor of luxury real estate, and PGA National is one of its hot properties.
