'Robin's Racers' Fundraise For Breast Cancer in Honor of Local Survivor

At the age of 33, Robin was diagnosed with breast cancer. The shocking news came just after the birth of her second daughter.

After a courageous battle, Robin, a longtime East Meadow resident, is now a two-year survivor of the disease. The experience inspired her to help others — those who, like Robin, had to embark on that dark road filled with feelings of uncertainty and despair. Robin’s Racers was created to raise awareness of breast cancer and give back to others battling the disease.

Robin’s Racers will be holding a vendor fundraising event on Sunday, October 4 with proceeds supporting American Cancer Society/Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. The event will feature 50 vendors to shop, live music, children’s activities and entertainment, and close to $60,000 in donated swag bag items, raffle and silent auction prizes. The event will be held at the East Meadow Jewish Center (1400 Prospect Avenue, East Meadow) from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.

“I started this event as a way to give back to those that helped me through my journey with cancer, to raise awareness, and help other families that are going through the fight.”

An American Cancer Society representative will be at the event to offer information on breast cancer and sign guests up to walk at Jones Beach on October 18 for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. All proceeds will go to the ACS/Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Please join Robin’s Racers to raise awareness and funds, which will go to supporting amazing programs that help all cancer patients going through treatment.
