Before coming to Roswell, Gregory’s experience included the Buffalo Bills organization and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Western New York. Andrea started at the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation in 2010 working for The Ride For Roswell in various Event Coordinator capacities. Currently, the Special Events Manager working on various programs and events including Goin’ Bald for Bucks, All Star Night, Team Cure and Bosom Buddies. The mission of Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) is to understand, prevent and cure cancer. Founded in 1898, RPCI is one of the first cancer centers in the country to be named a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center and remains the only facility with this designation in Upstate New York. The Institute is a member of the prestigious National Comprehensive Cancer Network, an alliance of the nation's leading cancer centers; maintains affiliate sites; and is a partner in national and international collaborative programs. Ms. Gregory will speak to the mission of the Institute, highlight upcoming events and give special focus to “Goin’ Bald for Bucks.” Goin’ Bald for Bucks began in 2002 when Western New Yorker Cathleen George was being treated for cancer. Her brother, Tony, promised his sister that he would shave his head with her and remain bald until her hair grow back. Tony, a teacher at Lake Shore High School, brought this idea to his students and many of them offered to help - one of them suggested they raise money while shaving their heads. Hence, a fundraiser was born! In the years since the program was founded, thousands of participants across Western New York have joined forces to raise more than $3.4 million to help find cures and save lives. Come to have breakfast with the Rotary Club of West Seneca and hear Andrea’s message about the structure, service and success of Roswell Park Cancer Institute. |
