Troy Turkey Trot - November 25th, 2010
The Let Hope Live! Run / Walk for
Seriously Ill Children and Brain Tumor Research
We are thrilled to announce that The Let Hope Live! Run / Walk for Seriously Ill Children and Brain Tumor Research will be co-located with the historic Troy NY Turkey Trot.
Please help us maximize this wonderful opportunity to raise awareness, funding and the spirits of children undergoing treatment today! 100% of the funds raised on this day will go to support seriously ill children and their families, and highly targeted and highly promising brain tumor research. Let Hope Live has no administrative overhead and is run solely by volunteers with a passion to save lives and enable hope to uplift children undergoing difficult cancer treatments.To date, over a 1/3 million dollars has been raised for research alone through events like this. We KNOW that we can do better. But only with your help.
In 2009, VICTOR JUHASZ graciously offered to do the logo in less than a week. And still produced a powerful and meaningful image encompassing America's essential holiday, Thanksgiving. Victor Juhasz's turkey has attributes of the American Eagle, Man's passion and even the relief as he crosses the finish line! It is truly brilliant. Amazing accomplishment in the solitary image VICTOR JUHASZ illustrated as only VICTOR JUHASZ could do!
VICTOR JUHASZ has agreed to do the 2010 logo and we can't wait to see what he comes up with! The Let Hope live Foundation is so honored and appreciative of Victor Juhasz generosity and creativity helping us let hope live!
Think of all those who could have had a limited edition of Norman Rockwell tees. Or the countless tees and prints the New Yorker sells. “Victor Juhasz image here is helping let hope live! (R) These are the hottest items available! Thank you Vic!
