"It was a Great Night for the Navasky
Foundation," said founder Chuck Navasky. "We raised a lot of money
in just a few hours - and it's just great to see the support for our
foundation right here in our hometown of Philipsburg, PA."
Several hundred people came out for the
night, some for autographs, others for photos, but probably the most
popular aspect of the event was the openness and access to those
making an appearance.
"It was great to come out and be able to
touch the real Heisman Trophy - then to walk over and have my kids
sit in the Aaron's Dream Machine Race Car - what a great night,"
quoted one very satisfied attendee of the event.
"We had a really good turn out," said Chuck.
"We do a lot of great things with the Navasky Foundation, but we
couldn't do any of them without the support of great people like
those who were here tonight. I want to really thank everyone for
coming out, making donations, and showing their support for our
cause. It's a great feeling to know that we are making a
difference!"
About the Navasky Foundation for Life
The Navasky Foundation
for Life is a registered 501C3 Non-Profit Organization founded by Chuck
Navasky and his wife, Jaye. Based in Philipsburg, PA - our mission is to
make the world a better place for our Children and Grandchildren in all
aspects of life.
For
many years, they have been working together to help make a difference for
the millions of people who have been afflicted by this other form of
terrorism called cancer. Through concerts, CD sales, speaking engagements,
and fund raising events, they have been able to generate substantial funding
for cancer research centers here in Pennsylvania.
The
foundation now allows them to expand their efforts to the whole United
States. With Chuck’s large network of connections in the men’s clothing
business, sports world, and entertainment industry, he can now sponsor
events nationwide enabling him to raise even more needed dollars for cancer
research.
The
foundation supports two very worthy causes. Fifty percent of all funds
raised will benefit cancer patients and research - the other fifty percent
will be earmarked to promote youth oriented programs such as drug and
alcohol education, big brother and sister programs, and other activities
that are instrumental in keeping our children and grandchildren headed on
the right path. The foundation believes that the course of a person’s life
is greatly defined by his or her childhood experiences.
The
foundation is governed by a twelve person board of directors, and this board
makes the decisions on how the funds are disbursed. The foundation’s
501(c)3 nonprofit status gives its financial supporters the benefit of using
their kind and generous donations as tax deductions.
The
Navasky Foundation for Life is not only dedicated to creating “one less
tear” for those battling cancer, but also wants to nurture and educate
America’s children to help make their road to adulthood a little less bumpy.
