Four landmark events designed to introduce Shooting Cancer to Long Island, recruit our first wave of volunteers, build community trust, and launch our mission with unstoppable momentum.
An open-invite basketball event where youth teams showcased their skills before entering a small community tournament. An informational presentation on our mission preceded the games — introducing Shooting Cancer to Long Island for the very first time.
A pay-to-play event spanning basketball, soccer, and football. Kids from 8U to 18U competed for spots on official Shooting Cancer club teams. Every athlete selected becomes a volunteer ambassador — spreading our message through every league game they play.
An invitation-only breakfast at a local community center for Nassau County business owners, healthcare professionals, and school officials. We presented our mission, early successes, and Year 1 roadmap — securing our first sponsorships and forging lasting corporate relationships.
A warm holiday celebration honoring our volunteers, athletes, and supporters. Personal stories from affected families, a raffle, and short speeches created an emotionally resonant evening that reinforced donor loyalty and raised capital to power our continued mission.
