The Brendan Borek High Tides Memorial Fund would like to express its heartfelt gratitude to all sponsors of its Summer 2014 fundraising events. Brendan’s Fund is a not-for-profit grassroots organization whose efforts are directed towards providing comprehensive, compassionate and personalized assistance to children and young adults diagnosed with cancer.
While the average life of a small non-profit is 7-8 years, Brendan’s Fund is proud to be entering its 24th year. Organization founder Lydia Borek insists that the Fund could not have done this without the overwhelming community support it continues to receive.
Brendan’s Fund’s 4th Annual Low Tide Beach Ride was held in Avalon on July 5. Over 120 people signed up to pedal against the wind around the Pier. A special thank you to Sean and Anne Flynn for a job well done and a thank you to all Beach Ride participants!
The Fund’s premier summer event, the 24th Annual Brendan Borek Surf Memorial, took place on Avalon’s 30th Street Beach on August 2. After a very wet start, our wonderful, dedicated volunteers were able to get the first heat in the water at 10:30 a.m. The rain couldn’t stop us! A special thank you to Hyperflex, Stormer Foul Weather Gear and Sun Catcher for their generous support with our prizes. Congratulations to not only the winners but all who surfed or came out to support Brendan’s Fund. For the contest’s complete results, visit www.brendansfund.org.
