Often you will find Janet McAfee Real Estate agents lending their leadership skills to organizations who perform great work within our community. One such example is Top Agent Larry Levy. Larry currently serves as the Dinner Chair of the St. Louis Men’s Group Against Cancer. Larry’s father, the late Harold Levy, was a co-founder of the organization forty-five years ago and Larry is proud to continue the tradition of working with St. Louis organizations in their fight against cancer. Roy Firestone is the celebrity guest speaker for this year’s annual dinner on November 13th at the Ritz Carlton in Clayton. Tickets are still available and additional information from the organization’s website follows.
The St. Louis Men’s Group Against Cancer is a non-profit, charitable organization whose purposes include raising funds that are directed to specific cancer-related organizations that focus on research, prevention, and care activities in the St. Louis community. Past recipient funds are channeled through various organizations and earmarked for specific programs in the twenty plus charities that benefit in our community. Since 1969, this independent organization has raised more than $4 million for Groups such as The Children’s Miracle Network, American Cancer Society, Missouri Baptist Cancer Center, Camp Rainbow, BJC Healthcare, Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center and The Wellness Community. We direct funds not just to specific institutions, but to specific projects within those institutions, such as the Children’s Cancer Fund at Children’s Hospital, There is also a follow-up to ensure that the funds are used effectively and as intended. The dinner program is generally sports-themed with many celebrity guests in attendance, and has featured keynote speakers such as Jack Buck, Joe Buck, Tommy Lasorda, Bob Costas, Norm Stewart and most recently Tony LaRussa and Bob Knight.
