Get Moving Walk - May 16th
Anthony F. Cordeiro Insurance Agency named title sponsor of Saint Anne’s Hospital’s 11th Annual “Get Moving” fundraising walk All monies to go directly to patient programs and services of Saint Anne’s Hospital’s Regional Cancer Care Program
Fall River, MA – Saint Anne's Hospital is proud to announce the Anthony F. Cordeiro Insurance Agency, of Fall River, as the title sponsor of the 11th Annual “Get Moving” community fundraising walk on May 16 at Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School, 251 Stonehaven Road, Fall River. The agency’s $10,000 investment as title sponsor represents the largest in support of this year’s walk to benefit Saint Anne’s Hospital Regional Cancer Care Program.
Get Moving is a grassroots, community fundraising effort founded in 1999 by community members, hospital employees and patients to help advance world-class cancer care in this region. In ten years, the walk has raised more than $780,000.
"The Anthony F. Cordeiro Insurance Agency has been a proud sponsor of the Get Moving walk since its inception," said Anthony F. Cordeiro, of Fall River, agency owner and president. "This year, we are especially excited and proud of assuming the position of title sponsor. The Hudner Oncology Center, with its state-of-the-art services, touches the lives of many in our community, and it is our sincere hope that, in partnering with Saint Anne’s, we can broaden the reach of the Get Moving walk."
Funds raised through this year’s walk will support the hospital’s $5 million investment in technology and facility enhancements at the Hudner Oncology Center in Fall River, and $21 million investment in the construction of a state-of-the-art radiation center on Faunce Corner Road in Dartmouth. These investments will enable Saint Anne’s Hospital to continue its commitment to providing the region with the same level of care found at major academic cancer centers in Boston and provided locally by radiation and medical oncology experts, including radiation oncologists who are members of the faculty at Harvard Medical School and affiliated with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston.
This year’s Get Moving committee has expressed great enthusiasm for expanding the walk to benefit the latest expansion of the hospital’s cancer care program in Dartmouth. Co-chaired by Karyl Benoit, of Swansea, and Kyra Cordeiro, of Fall River, the committee includes hospital employees, employees of the Cordeiro Insurance Agency, members of the business community, and other interested members of the community.
