Cancer fundraisers to raise money by pulling planes at Logan
The American Cancer Society today announced that it has teamed with Massport and JetBlue for the inaugural Pulling For Hope of Boston event Sunday, Oct. 18 at Logan International Airport, during which fundraising teams will be tasked with pulling a JetBlue A320 aircraft 12 feet in the fastest time.
The pull, which is limited to 25 teams of 20 people, includes opening and closing ceremonies and prizes for several “divisions” of teams – open, schools, businesses and fitness facilities.
The Boston Police Department team was the first to sign up officially and accept the challenge. Other teams already committed include the Winthrop Fire and Police Departments and a group of American Cancer Society-funded researchers from Boston medical and teaching insitutions.
The Boston Bruins are an event gold sponsor.
Funds raised will benefit American Cancer Society-funded research and free services offered to cancer patients, including rides to and from cancer treatments, lodging for cancer patients and their caregivers who must travel a great distance for lifesaving treatment, health insurance assistance, support groups and financial services through the Patient Advocate Foundation.
