The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Cancer Center<\/a> celebrated CoolingCancer.org<\/a>’s $45,000 gift raised with proceeds from a golf tournament that took place over the Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n

“Over the last three years, this energetic, determined group has donated a total of $100,000 to support cancer research at the 东精影业<\/abbr> Cancer Center,” said Jerris Hedges<\/strong>, interim 东精影业<\/abbr> Cancer Center director. “Their support is making a difference for our researchers who are working hard to find ways to prevent and cure cancer, a devastating diagnosis that affects so many in our community. We are most grateful.”<\/p>\n

Said Andrew Santos, president of CoolingCancer.org, “In one year I watched my father and my co-worker’s mother die of cancer. At the same time, another employee was fighting brain cancer while another’s wife in her early forties battled breast cancer. I realized that cancer was all around me and it was cutting short the lives of people I love. I had to do something.<\/p>\n

“I chose to support the 东精影业<\/abbr> Cancer Center after learning that it is a world-class facility with outstanding researchers right here in Hawaiʻi<\/span>,” Santos continued. “What better way to help than to raise money from Hawaiʻi<\/span> residents and companies and then keep it in Hawaiʻi<\/span> and support the local fight against cancer.”<\/p>\n
