Until Next Time . . .
We are pleased to
announce that the “Project Light On For Hope” event at the
Virginia Beach concert raised $1,850 for David’s Race for Hope team,
which benefits the National Brain Tumor Society and Accelerate Brain
Cancer Cure. It was an amazing display of support for the cause and for
David, as fans who had gathered from near and far simultaneously turned
on purple “’Til There’s a Cure” glow sticks. Thank you to everyone who
participated.
We wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that “Project Light On for Hope” will be the last event organized by the leaders of Cook Fans Conquering Cancer for a little while. Not too long ago, we asked our nearly 700 members to complete a survey to guide the group’s future efforts. They spoke, and we have listened. The members of Cook Fans Conquering Cancer, have stated that they wish for the group to only continue on with activities when David has an official Foundation formed or when he has a charitable event that he is officially participating in or endorsing. And it looks like David is starting to do this, as his participation in the Race for Hope and the “Permanent” charity single for ABC2 demonstrates. So, as Cook Fans Conquering Cancer, we will pause and await David’s further, official direction.
Thank you to the hundreds of members of Cook Fans Conquering Cancer for their tremendous support & activism this past eleven months. We are so proud of all that we have accomplished together:
We urge everyone to please continue on the philanthropic journey to help eradicate cancer!
The Cook Fans Conquering Cancer Facebook group will remain open, but there will not be any updates made or announcements sent out unless there is an official charitable project that David is supporting.
Thank you, as always, to everyone for helping to conquer cancer.
While we wait for official word from David, the five leaders of Cook Fans Conquering Cancer will continue to support other charitable projects near and dear to our hearts. Here are a few projects we are working on, if you want to keep up with us:
