"The members of TEAM HOPE are committed to the support of our families and friends who are engaged in the struggle against cancer. We have dedicated ourselves to the memory of those whose battle is over and who are now at peace."
On Friday evening, July 19th, the swimmers of TEAM HOPE will participate in a 1 mile, 1/2 mile or best effort swim at the North Hempstead Country Club to "Make Waves to Fight Cancer." Now entering its 21st year, TEAM HOPE has raised over $1,500,000 for cancer research, treatment and prevention. Our goal this year is to raise $100,000. To do so, we must raise at least $50,000 with this one of our two swims.

The proceeds of our swim will support cancer research at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center-SAA Laboratory, the MD Anderson Children's Cancer Hospital, the Feinstein Institute at North Shore LIJ and the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
