In just over a decade, SpinOdyssey has become one of this area’s largest and most popular fund raisers.
Last year’s event raised $250,000 for breast cancer research.
This year’s total: $381,000.
That’s great news for the American Cancer Society — and for everyone seeking signs that the Great Recession is ending.
Not sure a sign of recession recovery but “Parade” magazine notes that their
is a new “concerned compassion” that is
taking storm in this country. It is great to
see. Spin to win! On a sidenote, I once asked
an oncologist when they were going to beat this
bloody disease. Her response: “We need money.” I replied: “What about all these charities?” Her answer: “We need money in research to attract those outstanding medical student graduates to go into cancer research instead of doing boob jobs in Hollywood.”
