Team Sarcoma/H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

The Moffitt Cancer Center took part in the 2006 Team Sarcoma 2006 Initiative. In was their first year of participation and they hosted a "Sunset Stroll" on Clearwater Beach, Florida. The efforts of Moffitt Cancer Center are being coordinated by Ann Gordon, Dr. Gina D'Amato, and Dr. Samuel Agresta of the Sarcoma Department. Dr. Agresta wrote us, "Our goal is to make this an annual as well as national event in which people with sarcoma and those affected by them will join hand in hand to raise awareness of and funds to improve upon the care of those with sarcoma." After the event took place, Ann Gordon wrote us, "The event went great! Approximately 100 people participated, since there was heavy rains and lightning threats, the walk was only about a mile. However, I think we raised approximately $1,500. I’m still counting it up. We were on Channel 10 news that night. It was really fun. Thank you for the experience. We are looking forward to next year. Where should I overnight the funds to?"

Here are a few photos that capture the evening.
