Aviara Events<br />
Help <strong>Cancer</strong> Research<br />
Aceremony was held at the Four<br />

2002 Terry Fox 5K Run/Walk and its sister<br />

present a $60,000 check to benefit<br />
research at the <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Center</strong>.<br />
Brian Parmelee, Aviara General Manager,<br />
recognized all of the companies and volunteers<br />
whose hard work and sponsorship<br />
resulted in these very successful events.<br />

employee, earned a special acknowledgement<br />
for raising the most money from individual<br />
pledges — a remarkable $4,400 for<br />
2001 and 2002. The front-line organizing<br />
team — Nicole Mars and Christina Del<br />
Castillo from Aviara — were recognized<br />
for their outstanding efforts. Foundation<br />

generous gift.<br />
New Saks Event<br />
Builds on Earlier Success<br />
Something new is coming to town<br />
this fall. “Key to the Cure,”<br />
a 4-day charity event hosted<br />
by Saks Fifth Avenue in its stores<br />
nationwide, will be unveiled locally<br />
September 17 to 20 in its Fashion<br />
Valley and downtown La Jolla stores.<br />
This new event expands Saks’<br />
former program, which for the last<br />
four years raised funds exclusively<br />
for breast cancer research and<br />
treatment. The new program will<br />
benefit all female reproductive<br />
cancers — breast, ovarian, uterine<br />
and cervical.<br />
To broaden its scope, Saks corporate<br />
has entered into a new agreement<br />
with Hollywood’s<br />
Entertainment Industry Foundation,<br />
a long-time leader in raising money<br />
and awareness for women’s cancer<br />
research. This new venture will<br />
provide local Saks stores and the<br />
<strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Center</strong> an opportunity to<br />
raise even more money to help<br />
improve women’s lives. Katherine<br />
Kennedy and Robert Horsman<br />
will serve as local co-chairs.<br />
The new program will keep in<br />
place the blueprint that has made<br />
Saks’ prior program so successful:<br />
A percentage of sales made during<br />
September 17 to 20 at each local<br />
Saks store and Off 5th outlet will<br />
be donated directly to the <strong>Cancer</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong>. So be sure to mark these<br />
dates on your calendar and save<br />
your Saks purchases for this four-day<br />
charity benefit.<br />

ANGLERS HOOK THE<br />
$1 MILLION MARK<br />
T<br />
he 2002 “For Pete’s Sake...”<br />
Pete Lopiccola Memorial<br />
Marlin Tournament was a<br />
milestone event. Proceeds from<br />
the latest tournament pushed the<br />
group’s total contributions to the<br />
<strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Center</strong> over the $1 million<br />
mark. This achievement was recognized<br />
recently during a reception<br />
in which representatives from the<br />
Pete Lopiccola <strong>Cancer</strong> Research<br />
Foundation presented a $75,000<br />
check to the <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, bringing<br />
the non-profit organization’s<br />
12-year giving total to $1,045,500.<br />
“We are so very grateful for<br />
Lopiccola’s longstanding commitment<br />
to the <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Center</strong>,” said<br />
Cinda Lucas, president of the<br />
UCSD <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Center</strong> Foundation,<br />
who accepted the check on behalf<br />
of the <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Center</strong>. “The<br />
Lopiccola Foundation and<br />
the tournament committee are<br />
to be commended.<br />
As a result of the<br />
Foundation’s tireless<br />
efforts, the <strong>Cancer</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong> has been able<br />
to purchase critically<br />
needed equipment and<br />
to fund bright young<br />
researchers who are<br />
making important<br />
scientific contributions<br />
to the world’s knowledge<br />
about cancer.”<br />
Much of the money raised to date<br />
has gone to support 17 young cancer<br />
researchers, called Lopiccola Fellows.<br />
In fact, the $460,000 applied to the<br />
Fellowship program, has helped<br />
to generate over $8.1 million in<br />
extramural grant funding.<br />
“It is incredibly satisfying to<br />
be able to support these young<br />
people,” said Chuck Faith,<br />
Chairman of the Lopiccola<br />

Foundation. “They are the new<br />
generation of pioneers, and our<br />
hope for a future without cancer.”<br />
The <strong>Moores</strong> UCSD <strong>Cancer</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong> extends its heartfelt<br />
congratulations and appreciation<br />
to the many Lopiccola Board<br />
members and volunteers to<br />
have worked tirelessly to break<br />
the $1 million milestone while<br />
“Fishing for a Cure.”<br />
