2024 Cancer Awareness & Fundraising Event

October 26, 2024 | Fraternal Order of Police | 5530 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32207

Hey!

Have you ever wondered how one simple action could change a student’s life forever? Or how you could make a double impact with just one opportunity?

Well, here’s your chance to do just that.

At our upcoming Fundraising Event, you’ll not only celebrate the incredible strength of cancer survivors…

…but also have the opportunity to transform the future of a deserving student.

Your support will help them access a college education that can change their life—and even the lives of their family members.

This is more than just an event; it’s a chance to help a student live a life filled with opportunity and gratitude. And by just attending our event, you can be a key part of their journey.


WHY THIS EVENT IS SO IMPORTANT

Your participation isn’t just about showing up—you’ll be making a real, tangible difference in a situation that truly needs your help.

The funds raised from this event will directly support our scholarship programs, which helps underprivileged students pursue their college dreams.

Many of these students have faced personal challenges, and they need someone to walk alongside them, offering the guidance and support that allows them to reach their full potential.

Because Here’s the reality…

Many other organizations simply write checks and move on.

But, for these students, that’s not enough.

They are left to navigate the complexities of college life—both academic and personal—entirely on their own, without the emotional or practical support they truly need.

BUT NOT US…

At the Marie Barney Boston Foundation, we believe in building long-term relationships.

We don’t just offer scholarships; we mentor our students, check in with them every month, and provide ongoing guidance to help them do well in all areas of life.

By attending this event, you’ll not just be witnessing change—you’ll be creating it.

You’ll be helping students like Simone Thom, Tatiana and many more who once faced barriers to accessing college, but are now happily pursuing their passion, thanks to the support of people like you who believe every student needs a chance and opportunity to be great.


HERE IS WHAT TO EXPECT

Additionally, in-person attendees will get to enjoy live entertainment, raffles, giveaways, and a free luncheon—all of which are exclusive to those who attend.

Virtual viewers will get a glimpse of the event, but they’ll miss out on these extras that make the day so special.

But still, if you can’t attend in person or wish to revisit the event, we’ll offer a recording of the full event for a small donation.

However, if you attend in person, you’ll receive free access to these recordings, to give you a chance to relive the moment anytime you want.
