Dear Family & Friends: I hope you are all enjoying the New Year! And that you are well and healthy. It is that time again!! As most of you know, my passion is to help people - -especially children who have cancer. This is my 6th year as a shavee. Two years ago, I formed my own team in school. With 29 members, we raised $14,256!!! My goal this year is to form a team with my Boy Scout Troop 125, in the Commack area. I personally raised $1,452 last year. I'd like to challenge that amount and raise it to $1,750. I am reaching out to you to ask for you help to achieve that goal. For those who donated last year, I thank you from the bottom of my heart in helping me with this effort and ask for your support again. And if you are new on my list, I ask that you please support this wonderful cause and help me reach my goal. My parents are kicking off this fundraiser with a $100 donation towards my cause. Thanks Mom & Dad!!! The event is March 6, 2015 -- so please make a pledge today!

My role as team captain is to recruit as many members as possible. My role as a shavee is to reach out to generous people like yourself and help me raise money for childhood cancer research! And of course, I will shave my head! :-) Of course, let's not forget our adult survivors - my dear Mom! You are a 7 year survivor and I love you so much. Thank you for all you have taught me about love, compassion and about helping others. To my dear aunt Jane, and cousin Doreen - I'm so happy to know you both continue to do well. If you prefer to send me a check, please contact my mom at nrmastroianni@optonline.net and she will give you our home address. I thank you in advance and have a wonderful year!!
