My personal message:

For those of you who attended the first annual "Bowl for the Cure" event on June 12th Valerie and I would like to thank you all for your support. We also want to thank the businesses,corporations, Montvale Lanes, our event crew and our families for their help and generosity. We could not have done it WITHOUT YOU!!.

We had a great group of 196 people who attended the event. The Pearl River Fire Department was kind enough to bring one of their trucks for the kids and adults alike. Dibari's of Rivervale catered the event and they went all out!!! Thank You... WDHA "The Rock of New Jersey"105.5  was on hand with prizes and games for everyone. They did a terrific job and we hope they will join us next year. We also awarded trophies of the top bowlers( Kids and Adults) and we had a Tricky Tray for all to enjoy. It was a very special night for all of us. We have set the date for the 2nd annual "Bowl for the Cure"  June 11, 2010.

I know that times are very tough right now and money is tight. But the kids do not know about budget cuts and the stock market. They only know they can't go out to play with their friends. Their frighten as we are. We are asking for your help to raise money and awareness to help find the cause and cure for this deadly disease. but we can't do it alone, we need your support...

 If you couldn't make it to the Bowl for the Cure but want to support our efforts, you can donate through this site.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Every nail helps build a house. The support you give, no matter what the amount will go a long way in helping the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation of the United States ~ Ride for Kids.

Sunday August 2nd my wife and I will be riding our motorcycle as part of the Hudson Valley Ride for Kids. So grab your bike, tell your friends and please join us...  Call Jon for details @ 914-403-6897

May Peace be found for those whose life you touch...

Jon and Valerie Ford
