HIGH SPEED CHASE FOR THE CURE—5K RUN/3K WALK   
The Rutgers University Police Department will once again join with the Rutgers Student Movement Against Cancer, and race sponsor Citigroup Smith Barney of New Brunswick to host the 6th annual 5k run/3k walk. Last year, participants and sponsors raised nearly $20,000 for research programs and to assist CINJ patients with unmet financial needs through the Patient Relief Fund. For those avid runners, the event is a sanctioned run on a USATF certified course. The Livingston Campus of Rutgers (The RAC) provides the perfect setting for a morning run/walk – we hope to see you at the starting line! Special thanks to last year’s partners, the Rutgers Daily Targum, the Rutgers University Division of Student Affairs; the Rutgers Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association and the Pan-Hellenic Council. For more information and sponsorship opportunities, please contact Leanne Kochy at 732-235- 4956.

PARROT HEAD CLUB'S FEEDING FRENZY
The Coastal Jersey Parrot Head Club (CJPHC), part of a national group of Jimmy Buffet fans, hosted their 5th Annual Feeding Frenzy June 1, 2008 to raise money for ovarian cancer research. CINJ once again benefited from this party with a purpose; two years ago the Parrot Heads presented CINJ with a check for $8,000. More than 130 adults and children enjoyed the event. The year’s event happened in Spring Lake at Doolan's from 1:00 PM-6:00 PM and was children friendly (or keet friendly as the Parrot Heads would say). One of the organizers of the event, Pam Favocci, Secretary of CJPHC, is currently being treated at CINJ.

PRINCETON WOMEN'S FOOTBALL CLINIC
In the off-season, Princeton University football coaches take on a unique one-day challenge: turning a group of enthusiastic women into two football teams ready to take it to the field.

For the past 6 years, hundreds of women have made donations to fight breast cancer in exchange for a morning of football instruction and drills and the opportunity to put their newly gained grid iron knowledge to the test with a friendly (most of the time) touch football game.

Join Princeton Head Football Coach Roger Hughes and his staff at this fun-filled, low pressure, football 101 experience. For more information call the CINJF office at 732-235-8614. See the flyer for more information.

TOWPATH ‘TRAIN’ING RUN
This past year the Raritan Valley Road Runners presented the 10th Annual D&R Canal Towpath “Train”ing Run. This non-competitive run took place on National Trails Day, Saturday, June 7, 2008 and benefited The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ). The event was held in honor of Paul Krentar. In 2007, 72 runners completed 982 miles and donated $1500 to CINJ! Enjoy the scenic towpath trail that follows the Delaware-Raritan canal, Millstone River, and Raritan River. A picnic in Johnson Park located in New Brunswick is the perfect ending to this great event. Everyone at CINJF thanks Mr. Ray Petit and the Raritan Valley Road Runners for their continued and generous support! See the Flyer here.
