On Saturday, February 25th, 2012, we will gather at the Pavilion East Cobb in Marietta, Georgia for the 5th Annual Dancing for Joan Dinner and Gala.

The Joan Gaeta Lung Cancer Fund invites you to
become an official sponsor of Dancing for Joan.

This festive evening of cocktails, dinner, great music and dancing, silent auction, and a “call to action” in the fight against lung cancer is an event not to be missed.

The Joan Gaeta Lung Cancer Fund was created in the fall of 2007 by her husband and children to raise awareness of the disease, to educate the public and to be an advocate for research. We also strive to eliminate the stigma of lung cancer and to support survivors and their loved ones in our local community.

Our ultimate goal:  to eradicate lung cancer.  To that end, we became an affiliate of The Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation in 2010 - specifically dedicated to raising money their research arm,The Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute (ALMCI).

Please visit us at www.forjoan.org for detailed information on this partnership or visit www.alcmi.netto see how this research is going to change the paradigm for lung cancer research.

There is so much to celebrate this year and yet so much to do. We would be honored to have you join us in our work as a sponsor of Dancing for Joan.

Please review our 2011 sponsorship opportunities here.

Thank you for your consideration – we want to effect this change in the memory of all those who have lost their battle with lung cancer as Joan Gaeta did...and also to honor all those currently fighting lung cancer and those yet to be diagnosed.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me directly at (404) 435-7376, or send an e-mail to [email protected].
