<p>The month long-fundraising effort – which has raised more than $65,000 since its inception in 2010 – is preparing for an exciting October with expanded participation from multi-family property owners, as well as the expected addition of many more community-minded organizations from outside the real estate world.</p>
<p>This year, Lease For A Cure will also add another promising aspect to its effort to raise funds to support the research efforts of Dr. Larry Norton, Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs and the Medical Director of the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center, and his colleagues.</p>
<p>Tenants at participating apartment buildings will now have the opportunity to donate individually to the worthwhile cause by having a specified amount added to monthly rent bills or make a one-time donation. Value Companies, Inc., an initial apartment owner and developer to sponsor Lease For A Cure, has agreed to match their tenant donations up to $2,500.</p>
<p>“We’ve had amazing participation from the real estate industry in our first three years,” says Andrew Abramson, Treasurer and Co-Founder of CBCF, a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 charity. “The kind heartedness and concern from this community has enabled CBCF and Dr. Norton to make tremendous strides towards finding a cure for a disease that has affected so many.”</p>
<p>“We’re excited to expand this program in 2014 and invite companies and vendors outside the real estate industry, as well as individual tenants to participate in this important effort. We fully expect 2013 to be the most successful Lease For A Cure on record.”</p>
<p>Every year Lease For A Cure has resulted in fundraising efforts that annually surpass the previous year. Held during National Breast Cancer Awareness month, participants in Lease For A Cure donate $20 to the CBCF for every new lease signed and $10 for every renewal signed at their rental communities throughout October, and vendors participating donate per project.</p>
<p>Notable participants in last year’s effort included Affiliated Management, Archer &#38; Greiner, AvalonBay Communities, BCS Interactive, Bertram Associates, BNE Real Estate Group, Bukiet Management, Goldberg Realty Associates, Hilton Management, JP Management LLC, Kriegman &#38; Smith, Landmark Companies LLC, Landscape Maintenance, Quaker Group, Sterling Properties, Wessex Management LLC, RestoreCore and The Apts. Magazine.</p>
<p>Companies interested in joining Lease For A Cure can visit <a href="http://www.curebreastcancerfoundation.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.curebreastcancerfoundation.org</a>, email <a href="mailto:lease@curebreastcancerfoundation.org">lease@curebreastcancerfoundation.org</a>, or call 973.471.2223 (CBCF) to sign-up and find our more details and information on how programs man be customized.</p>
<p>Since its inception in December 2007, CBCF has raised in excess of $4 Million through events such as the annual Golf Classic, walk-a-thons, fashion shows and other fundraising activities. Fully 100% of its net fundraising proceeds received by the foundation are donated to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan and other national and international cancer research facilities to support the groundbreaking research being</p>
<p>conducted under the direction of Dr. Larry Norton and his colleagues.<br />
Dr. Norton&#8217;s research focuses on the theory of breast cancer “self seeding”: the ability of breast cancer cells to move and start new cancers growing, not only in distant organs like the bones and liver (called metastases), but in the breast itself. This behavior is referred to as “self seeding” as it recalls the way weeds take over a garden: not by the growth of each individual weed plant, but by the seeding of new weed plants that grow in a confluent fashion. By this concept, breast cancer is not one mass, but rather a collection of contiguous smaller masses.</p>
<p>This method of growth is indeed true in certain experimental models and research is ongoing to prove that it happens in people as well. It explains many aspects of cancer: rapid growth, disorganization, formation of new blood vessels, need to irradiate a breast after lumpectomy for cancer and the association of all of the above with distant metastases. If correct, it will provide new targets for the development of drugs to treat and prevent cancer. Since “seeding” is an abnormal process—as opposed to the normal process of mitosis—such drugs may not only be more effective, but less toxic as well. Hence, the concept of self-seeding is not only interesting from the point of view of biology, but possibly very important in the design of better approaches to cancer management and prevention, as well as in finding a cure.</p>

<p>CBCF is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, which supports breast cancer research efforts under the direction of noted oncologist and the Foundation’s Scientific Advisor Dr. Larry Norton, Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs and the Medical Director of the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center.  </p>
<p>The addition of the new companies, which followed the New Jersey Apartment Association (NJAA) Annual Conference in Atlantic City, brings the number of companies participating this year to twenty. They include Bukiet Management, C.L.B.L Realty, FM Ferrari, JP Management, Landmark Companies LLC, Manhattan Welding, Legow Management Company LLC and Wessex Management, LLC. Interest in joining was so high during the industry event; vendors including RestoreCore have also inked their name to the cause.</p>
<p>These recognizable names will join many of the same apartment owners and managers that took part in the 1st Annual Lease For A Cure initiative last year, which raised more than $25,000 for the efforts of Dr. Larry Norton and his colleagues.  </p>
<p>The 2011 Lease For A Cure program is expected to surpass the 2010 results as real estate industry leaders line up to participate in the fight against cancer. Participants in the trailblazing effort simply donate $20 for every new lease signed and $10 for every renewal signed at their community during the month of October. To take part in this year’s effort, please call (973) 471-CBCF (2223), email info@curebreastcancerfoundation.org, or visit<br />
<a href="http://www.CureBreastCancerFoundation.org">www.CureBreastCancerFoundation.org</a> for additional information.</p>
<p>“The response we received at the convention far exceeded our expectations,” says Executive Director Leslye Schulman. “Apartment owners, managers and others in the real estate industry were incredibly eager to join this cause and we anticipate several more companies to sign up in the weeks ahead. It is our belief that anything done to advance the progress being made in breast cancer research should be a priority; and with the addition of these community-minded firms, we’re confident this year’s participants will surpass the tremendous efforts made last year.”</p>
<p>Since its inception in December 2007, <a href="http://www.CureBreastCancerFoundation.org">CBCF </a>has raised in excess of $2.5 Million through events such as the annual Golf Classic, walk-a-thons and other fundraising activities.

<p>When cancer struck at the heart of Andy Abramson’s family, the CEO of <a href="http://www.valuecompanies.com/">Value Companies, Inc</a>, a real estate development and property management firm, took it personally.</p>
<p>In 2007, he co-founded the <a href="http://www.curebreastcancerfoundation.org/">Cure Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. (CBCF)</a>, a 501(c) 3, non-profit organization, and then enlisted a number of partners to help sponsor charity events.</p>
<p>To date, <a href="http://www.curebreastcancerfoundation.org/">CBCF </a>has raised more than $1.3 million through events such as an annual golf tournament, charitable walks and other fundraising activities.</p>
<p>Fully 100% of its net fundraising proceeds are donated to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan to support the ground-breaking research being conducted there by noted oncologist Dr. Larry Norton.</p>
<p>Last year, Abramson created the Lease for a Cure initiative to get more real estate companies involved in the effort. After raising $25,000 in just one month, the CEO is confident that this year’s event will be even more successful. “This time we’re aiming for $100,000,” Abramson said.</p>
<p>Abramson credits the formation of the charity to his daughter Carly who crafted her mother, Lisa, a beaded key ring after she was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 12 years old.</p>
<p>Fueled by the love for her mother and undaunted by the challenges, with the help of friends and family, Carly and went on to raise $10,000 making and selling crafts.</p>
<p>Today, Carly and Andy continue to hold true to the belief that no idea is out of the realm of possibility and their second annual Apartment Owners Lease for a Cure initiative — a month-long event held during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October — has shown once again what can be achieved.</p>
<p>When it first came about, Abramson’s goals were modest. “We were trying to come up with a means of getting more involved in the real estate community. Initially it was calling close friends and associates, pitching ideas, without any expectation. The results were positive,” he said.</p>
<p>“I was convinced that anything that can be done to advance the progress being made in cancer research should be a priority and that money was obviously a critical factor in furthering this work.”</p>
<p>The premise is simple: each company that participates in Lease for a Cure agrees to donate $10 for every lease that is signed during October. Last year, 15 major real estate companies took part, including <a href="http://www.valuecompanies.com/">Value Companies</a>, Affiliated Management, AvalonBay Communities, Bertram Associates, BNE Associates, CJ Lombardo, Gibbs Family Properties, Goldberg Realty, JK Management LLC, KRE Group, Kriegman &#38; Smith, Inc., Pen Realty LLC, Quaker Group, Roseland Properties, Segal &#38; Segal, Solomon Management LLC and Sterling Properties.</p>
<p>This year, with the help of new partnerships, Abrams expects the magnitude of Lease for a Cure’s success to increase.</p>
<p>For the second annual Lease for a Cure, CFBC is working with the New Jersey Apartment Association. “The apartment industry has long been known for its incredible generosity, and Lease for a Cure gives us a chance to point our resources to a wonderful cause — curing breast cancer,” said Jean Maddalon, executive vice president of New Jersey Apartment Association.</p>
<p>“Everyone is connected to a life that has been saved or extended as a result of research funded by efforts like Lease for a Cure. We are honored to participate by promoting the $10 per lease contribution at our upcoming convention, May 23-25 at the Atlantic City Convention Center.”</p>
<p>Abramson said <a href="http://www.curebreastcancerfoundation.org/">CBCF </a>continues to branch out with its charity efforts, with many events slated for the 2011 calendar.

<p><a href="http://www.curebreastcancerfoundation.org/">The Cure Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF), </a>a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, will host its 4th Annual Golf Classic on Monday, June 20th at Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, New Jersey.  </p>
<p>The event supports and raises funds for the breast cancer research efforts of Dr. Larry Norton, the Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs and the Medical Director of the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.  Fueled by the overwhelming support from last year’s Golf Classic, 2010 proved to be the most successful year on record for CBCF, recording its highest fundraising totals in its history. </p>
<p>The Golf Classic will begin at 10:30 a.m. with registration and brunch, followed by a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m.  A $1 Million Hole-In-One Shootout and raffle drawing for a 2011 red Camero convertible will also take place. The festivities will conclude with a dinner reception where the Foundation’s Scientific Advisor, Dr. Larry Norton, will address guests. </p>
<p>“Each year attendance grows and the golf outing proves to be more successful than it was the year prior,” says Executive Director Leslye Schulman. “We have already received tremendous feedback from those interested in participating and the event was just recently announced.” </p>
<p>“We are so grateful to those who continually support <a href="http://www.curebreastcancerfoundation.org/">CBCF</a>. Your generosity is helping us make tremendous strides in the battle against breast cancer.”  </p>
<p>Since its inception in December 2007, <a href="http://www.curebreastcancerfoundation.org/">CBCF </a>has raised in excess of $2 million through events such as the annual Golf Classic, walk-a-thons and other fundraising efforts.  The foundation donates 100% of its net fundraising proceeds received to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan and other national and international research facilities to support the ground-breaking research being conducted by noted oncologist Dr. Larry Norton and his colleagues.   </p>
<p>Dr. Norton&#8217;s research focuses on the theory of breast cancer “self seeding”: the ability of breast cancer cells to move and start new cancers growing, not only in distant organs like the bones and liver (called metastases), but in the breast itself.  This behavior is referred to as “self seeding” as it recalls the way weeds take over a garden: not by the growth of each individual weed plant, but by the seeding of new weed plants that grow in a confluent fashion.  By this concept, breast cancer is not one mass, but rather a collection of contiguous smaller masses. </p>
<p>This method of growth is indeed true in certain experimental models and research is ongoing to prove that it happens in people as well.  It explains many aspects of cancer: rapid growth, disorganization, formation of new blood vessels, need to irradiate a breast after a lumpectomy for cancer and the association of all of the above with distant metastases.  If correct, it will provide new targets for the development of drugs to treat and prevent cancer.  Since “seeding” is an abnormal process—as opposed to the normal process of mitosis—such drugs may not only be more effective, but less toxic as well.  Hence, the concept of self-seeding is not only interesting from the point of view of biology, but also possibly very important in the design of better approaches to cancer management and prevention, as well as in finding a cure.</p>
<p>Registration is now underway for the 4th Annual Golf Classic. Those interested in participating can call (973) 471-CBCF (2223) or email leslye@curebreastcancerfoundation.org for additional information. Corporate Sponsorships are also available. </p>
