Kites for a Cure Family Benefit
05/29/2010 - By Southampton, NY

Kites for a Cure Family Benefit

This Memorial Day Weekend, more than 800 people took part in “Kites for a Cure,” a family kite fly benefit on Coopers Beach in Southampton, NY.

The event was held on Saturday, May 29th from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. and raised nearly $200,000 for Uniting Against Lung Cancer, which funds innovative lung cancer research around the country.

“The fourth annual Kites for a Cure was another huge success with hundreds of families joining in the fight against lung cancer by flying kites on our beautiful beach,” said Mark Epley, Mayor of the Village of Southampton. Mr. Epley served as the Honorary Commodore of the event, having lost his father to lung cancer six years ago.

For a $25-30 donation each guest received a high-quality kite, which they decorated themselves with drawings, pictures, messages and names of loved ones who are currently battling the disease or have passed away from lung cancer. The money raised will support Uniting Against Lung Cancer’s national lung cancer research grant program.

Rechler Equity Partners, Long Island’s largest owner of commercial real estate, was the event’s primary sponsor this year. Recognized for its community support and hands-on involvement, Rechler Equity continued its 50 year tradition by hosting this cherished Long Island event while establishing a lung cancer research grant to memorialize the company’s co-founder Roger Rechler, who died of lung cancer in 2008.
