HEAT TREATERS - BE BRAVE, $HAVE TO SAVE DID YOU KNOW? Every 3½ minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer, and every 4 hours a child loses their battle to cancer. The good news is that with current treatments approximately 75% of children diagnosed with cancer are expected to become long-term survivors. When we at United Process Controls (UPC) and Nitrex Metal heard of the St. Baldrick’s Foundation and its commitment to childhood cancer research, we wanted to share this incredible cause with the heat treat community, solicit your participation and make a difference in the lives of children with cancer. HOW? Six people from UPC and Nitrex have volunteered to go “topless” this October at Furnaces North America in Orlando, Florida to raise awareness and money for children fighting cancer. They will shave their heads in exchange for donations towards research. Their goal is to raise at least $50,000 in support of the St. Baldrick’s foundation, and when certain dollar targets are reached one-by-one the following persons will proudly face the clipper: $5,000 Pat Torok (UPC) $10,000 Jack Kalucki (Nitrex) $15,000 Nikola Dzepina (Nitrex) $20,000 Eric Boltz (UPC) $30,000 Paul Oleszkiewicz (UPC) $50,000 Yvonne Boltz (UPC) Please go to www.stbaldricks.org/events/HEATTREATING and pledge a donation or become a shavee yourself and raise money. Then join us at Furnaces North America in stands 515-519 for the clip off on October 5-6, 2010. Together we can help ensure that MORE children and young people diagnosed with cancer are cured of their disease.
