FUND A CURE TO FIND A
CURE
The Rockin’ Christmas Fund is a managed
fund of the SW Florida Community Foundation. Rockin' Christmas Fund
which runs the annual Rockin' Christmas Party now in its 4th year
was founded by Vincent and Illona Wolanin, PrivateSky® Aviation
Services, Inc., and Doctor John and Liz Kagan.
This year, funds raised from
the 4th annual Rockin' Christmas Party will go to fund
Cancer Research in an effort to "Fund a Cure to Find a
Cure for Cancer" and also to the scholarship endowment
fund. Scientists working on cures for Cancer will be
granted direct research funds after review of formal
submitted applications to continue working on unique new
scientific ways to hopefully cure Cancer. A Scholarship
as always will be awarded after an outreach
campaign is conducted with the area High Schools.
In past years the fund has
benefited The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida (Lee Memorial Health Systems) and
the YMCA of Lee County. Total funds raised from the Rockin'
Christmas Party since inception exceed $500,000.00.
Rockin' Christmas Party IV will again be held in the state-of-the-art
facilities at PrivateSky® Aviation Services, Inc. (the BIG YELLOW
Building) at the former SW Florida International Airport. To buy tickets
