Fifth Annual Kites for a Cure
05/28/2011 - By Southampton, New York

On Memorial Day weekend, Cooper’s Beach in Southampton saw hundreds of beautifully decorated kites flying over its shores and more than 1,000 people in attendance to participate in Uniting Against Lung Cancer’s “Kites for a Cure.”

The annual family kite fly benefiting lung cancer research celebrated its fifth year this summer. The event was held on Saturday, May 28th, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. and raised $50,000 for innovative cancer research across the country.

“It was such a joy to see hundreds of families and friends gathered as a community to kick of the summer season in the Hamptons in such a beautiful and meaningful way,” 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. “This is one of the highlights of the year and it’s become a beacon of hope for people who have been touched by lung cancer. It is a way to remember people lost on Memorial Day Weekend, and to celebrate the start of a fantastic summer.”

Uniting Against Lung Cancer was founded in 2001 in memory of Joan Scarangello, a Southampton resident and non-smoker who lost her battle with lung cancer. In just seven years, the foundation has awarded more than $7 million in research grants to find a cure for the disease that will claim an estimated 160,000 lives in the U.S. this year.

Lung cancer will kill more Americans this year than colon, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers combined, and more women than breast, uterine and ovarian cancers combined. Yet it receives less federal research funding per death than any of the other major cancers.
