CBCF Celebrates 4th Annual "Lease For A Cure” On A High Note

CLIFTON, N.J. – Cure Breast Cancer Foundation’s (CBCF) annual Lease For A Cure, the trailblazing fundraising program that invites the real estate industry and beyond to participate in important breast cancer research, will celebrate its 4th anniversary in 2013 on a high note.

The month long-fundraising effort – which has raised more than $65,000 since its inception in 2010 – is preparing for an exciting October with expanded participation from multifamily property owners, as well as the expected addition of many more community-minded organizations from outside the real estate world.

This year, Lease For A Cure will also add another promising aspect to its effort to raise funds to support the research efforts of Dr. Larry Norton, Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs and the Medical Director of the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and his colleagues.

Tenants at participating apartment buildings will now have the opportunity to donate individually to the worthwhile cause by having a specified amount added to monthly rent bills or make a one-time donation. Value Companies, Inc., an initial apartment owner and developer to sponsor Lease For A Cure, has agreed to match their tenant donations up to $2,500.

“We’ve had amazing participation from the real estate industry in our first three years,” says Andrew Abramson, Treasurer and Co-Founder of CBCF, a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) charity. “The kind heartedness and concern from this community has enabled CBCF and Dr. Norton to make tremendous strides towards finding a cure for a disease that has affected so many.”

“We’re excited to expand this program in 2014 and invite companies and vendors outside the real estate industry, as well as individual tenants to participate in this important effort. We fully expect 2013 to be the most successful Lease For A Cure on record.”

Every year Lease For A Cure has resulted in fundraising efforts that annually surpass the previous year. Held during National Breast Cancer Awareness month, participants in Lease For A Cure donate $20 to the CBCF for every new lease signed and $10 for every renewal signed at their rental communities throughout October, and vendors participating donate per project.

Notable participants in last year’s effort included Affiliated Management, Archer & Greiner, AvalonBay Communities, BCS Interactive, Bertram Associates, BNE Real Estate Group, Bukiet Management, Goldberg Realty Associates, Hilton Management, JP Management LLC, Kriegman & Smith, Landmark Companies LLC, Landscape Maintenance, Quaker Group, Sterling Properties, Wessex Management LLC, RestoreCore and The Apts.
