WHEREAS, in 2002, a group of passion-filled volunteers formed the Cancer
Alliance of Naples (CAN) offering assistance to cancer-stricken
individuals and affected families in our local community whose
lives were being turned upside down financially and emotionally;
and,
WHEREAS, CAN has grown and now helps more than 220 families locally
every year through very difficult and trying times; and,
WHEREAS, CAN financially helps cancer patients and their families who need
assistance with non-medical expenses, including housing, utility
bills, car payments, groceries, gasoline and any necessities; and,
WHEREAS, every dollar raised for CAN stays here locally in our community
to help those battling cancer; and,
WHEREAS, the first YogaCAN event in 2013 was a small local, grassroots
fundraiser that has since grown to more than 250 participants
and has raised over $150,000 for the organization; and,
WHEREAS, the fourth annual YogaCAN will be held on Sunday, April 23,
2017, at the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club, where the local
yoga community will again come together to raise awareness by
supporting CAN’s mission and raise crucial dollars for local cancer
patients and their families.
NOW THEREFORE, be it proclaimed that the Collier County Board of County
Commissioners hereby honors the work of the Cancer Alliance of
Naples, and expresses best wishes for another successful
YogaCan event, scheduled for April 23, 2017.
