JUMP

(PREVIOUSLY TITLED "ACCUSED - THE STORY OF PHILLIPPE HALSMAN")

Wednesday 5th May 2010: Hello everyone,

Just a quick note to share with you the news that our "Jump!" fundraiser was a great success. We were able to sell almost all our tickets for our benefit for The Patrick Swayze Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund and in addition, the screening itself was almost a sell-out! Many Patrons also sent donations straight to the Research Fund at Stanford. We want to say a sincere "Thank You!" to Joshua Sinclair, the JCC and all our sponsors, contributors, supporters and Swayze Buddies who made this fundraiser possible.

Our biggest thanks go to our own Swayze Buddy Sue from Michigan who organised it all in Detroit - thanks Sue!

In friendship,
Margaret

As promised we can now announce our next fundraising event which will benefit The Patrick Swayze Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund. We are sponsoring a screening of Patrick's film "Jump!" at the Lenore Marwil Jewish Film Festival in Detroit. For every ticket we sell, we will donate $14 to the Research Fund at Stanford Cancer Center in California.

We are sure that we can count on you. After your wonderful generosity in buying our Calendars which resulted in US $1,230 being donated to the Research Fund, we are hoping that you will rally to this new fundraising call.
