The Max Cure Foundation is an organization that helps fund research for pediatric cancer and also provides financial assistance to low-income families who have a child with pediatric cancer. This year, we are teaming up with the Ventura Marathon, in Ventura, CA, to collect used sneakers. For each pair of sneakers you help to collect, the Max Cure Founadtion will receive a donation of up to $1.00.
Your efforts as volunteers are crucial to your success, and without you, we could not continue to make such progress in our battle against pediatric cancer. We need volunteers to collect sneakers at the Ventura Marathon on their packet pickup/registration days, which are as follows:
September 5, 2014, from 3:00 PM-7:00 PM at 364 S. California Street.
September 6, 2014, from 6:30 AM-6:00 PM at 750 Harbor Boulevard.
September 7, 2014, from 5:30 AM-7:00 AM at 750 Harbor Boulevard.
Finally, we will also need volunteers on race day, which takes place on September 7, 2014, from 7:00 AM-1:00 PM. Please let us know your availibility for these dates and times, as we may be able to split volunteers up into shifts.More opportunities with Max Cure Foundation, Inc.

Description
On May 2, 2007 - one day before his 4th birthday - Max Plotkin was diagnosed with a rare form of B-Cell Lymphoma in the bone. Max’s doctors pursued a range of aggressive treatments. Max faced each treatment with amazing courage, and to help him to be brave, Max brought his favorite stuffed lion to his cancer treatments.
Just as Max symbolizes courage and bravery in the face of adversity to those who know him personally, the Foundation’s logo, Lion Max, and its public message and mantra, Be Brave, symbolize these virtues.
Thankfully, Max , now 10-years-old, responded well to his treatments. Now in remission, he is doing his best to overcome the side-effects of chemotherapy and to enjoy childhood.
Compelled to help other children and families battling pediatric cancer, the Plotkin family formed The Max Cure Foundation for Pediatric Cancer Causes.
