Letter to the Community T hanks go to the Beachwood community for its continued support of The Race, which provides an opportunity for children, teens and adults to make a difference by raising money for research and awareness about breast cancer. The Race is held annually on Mother’s Day to honor and celebrate the women and their families who live with, survived or have been taken by breast cancer. Special thanks goes to Mayor Merle S. Gorden for his perfect attendance each of the 11 years of The Race, and the Zawatsky family for allowing us to honor them this year. This year, The Race has raised approximately $80,000 for breast cancer research at UH Seidman Cancer Center, with donations continuing to come in. To make a donation, please visit www.dotherace.com and click on donate. If there are any high school students who would like to participate in our race leadership program, please contact Flo Brett of Effective Leadership Academy at flo@effectivela.org. Thank you for your participation. We look forward to seeing all of you again next Mother’s Day, May 10, at The Race!
