BREAST CANCER RESEARCH FUND OF CNY, INC.

“Together we will find a cure” Carol M. Baldwin and her husband, Alexander, raised their family in Massapequa, Long Island. As a Syracuse native and graduate of Syracuse University, Carol decided to return to her roots in 1987. After being struck with breast cancer and undergoing a double mastectomy in 1990, her purpose became to help other women overcome the struggles associated with breast cancer.

Carol’s Story

Carol is heavily involved in the local community, lending her support and encouragement through phone calls, visits to hospitals and participation in local events. But, her true hope and mission is to find a cure for breast cancer. That is why she set up the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund of CNY.

Where do the funds go?

The funds raised by the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund of CNY, Inc. stay in Central New York and are given to local research facilities in their quest to find a cure. Through your support of a tax exempt 501C(3) organization, you not only benefit from positive public image, you also raise awareness about a disease that takes the life of one woman every thirteen minutes in the United States alone.

Corporate Sponsorship

Corporate sponsors play an important role to the Fund. There are several different opportunities for sponsorship available, each offering a different level of recognition at events, advertising, and tickets for participation in events.

OUR EVENTS A Night to Remember Gala May 9, 2015

This is a special night dedicated to recognizing sponsors, researchers, volunteers and other supporters. It is also a special night for women and men who have suffered from breast cancer to celebrate their survival with friends and family, as well as a chance to remember those that were taken by this disease. This event is celebrated at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York.

Gillie Girl Triathlon - July 19, 2015 In 2012, the Gillie Girl Sprint Triathlon was one of only three triathlons in New York State with only women competing. Located at Gillie Lake in Veteran’s Memorial Park in Camillus, NY, this scenic location became an instant hit for those training and racing in this three sport triathlon event (swim, bike, run). The course is a non-intimidating double loop swim (2 - 1/4 mile loops), a relatively flat and scenic 14 mile bike, and a 3.1 mile run, finishing with a lap around Gillie Lake. The course was hailed by many as their ‘all-time favorite’ course and the ‘perfect course’ for a beginner. Those spectating the event were equally pleased with their ability to watch family and friends participate. In addition to the race, the Gillie Girl Sprint Triathlon featured a post-race party with food and music and entertainment was provided throughout the day for kids.

New York State Fair August 27 - September 7, 2015 Volunteers can be found under a 30 foot banner in the Time Warner Science & Industry Building and a second booth in the Center of Progress Building every day of the Fair selling t-shirts and other merchandise to raise money for breast cancer research. They frequently are approached by people suffering from or surviving breast cancer as well as family members of those who lost their battle.

OUR EVENTS
