Runway to Hope Pledges $1 Million<br />
to Arnold Palmer Hospital<br />
Funds Will Help Pediatric Brain Tumor Program<br />
Expand Research, Education and Technology<br />
Created in 2011 by founders Mark and Josie NeJame, the<br />
non-profit Runway To Hope is already making an impact<br />
on the Central Florida community. Thanks to the success<br />
of its annual fundraising events and the support base it has<br />
developed, Runway To Hope pledged $1 million over seven<br />
years to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Program at Arnold<br />
Palmer Hospital.<br />
Runway To Hope’s mission is to serve and provide direct<br />
support to the children and families in the Central Florida<br />
community who have been impacted by pediatric cancer.<br />
The organization’s annual Spring Fashion Soiree is a starstudded<br />
event, featuring approximately 30 children, ages two<br />
to 18, who either are battling or have overcome cancer. The<br />
children walk the runway arm-in-arm with one of the dozens<br />
of national and local celebrity escorts.<br />
The event has focused much attention on kids dealing<br />
with cancer, and has also garnered several muchdeserved<br />
awards, including Best Charity Event from<br />
<strong>Orlando</strong> Business Journal, and the Award for Excellence<br />
in Fundraising by a Nonprofit Organization from the<br />
Association of Fundraising Professionals.<br />
But the Runway To Hope team says the biggest reward will<br />
be watching the impact their $1 million gift will make on<br />
the patients of Arnold Palmer Hospital, as the Pediatric<br />
Brain Tumor Program continues to grow.<br />
“Runway To Hope’s commitment and contribution to<br />
Arnold Palmer Hospital will have a tangible effect on<br />
countless children and families in Central Florida,” says<br />
John Bozard, president, Arnold Palmer Medical Center<br />
Foundation. “We applaud their commitment to this<br />
community and their decision to keep all of the funds<br />
raised here in the <strong>Orlando</strong> area.”<br />
