TEAM
Become An Athlete
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Strength for Life fundraiser! Strength for Life is a 501 ( c ) 3 charitable organization providing free exercise classes and wellness retreats for cancer patients/survivors.
Strength for Life was founded in memory of Evelyn Knapp, an exercise physiologist and co-founder of Personal Training Institute who died of breast cancer in 2005 at 40 years old. Evelyn knew the value of exercise but experienced firsthand how it affected her body during cancer treatment. She made a new commitment to share that knowledge and empower others battling cancer… Strength for Life is our answer to Evelyn’s vision.
In 2007 we started speaking at support groups and realized we could not charge for our services. These cancer survivors were experiencing co pays for their treatments up to $600 a month, so we decided to go the route of a nonprofit and fundraise to make it possible to hold classes at no cost.
Strength for Life has evolved to include wellness retreats enabling the cancer patients to partake in a full day and variety of classes (tai chi, yoga, meditation, feng shui, acupuncture, art therapy, zumba) and learn valuable information in an intimate setting from our guest speakers.
By taking on the role of fundraising for Strength for Life you will be sponsoring a cancer patient and sharing the news of our services to others. The wellness weekends cost Strength for Life $5000, for each $500 you collect a survivor can participate in classes, receive equipment for at home use and partake in a weekend filled with tools for mind, body and spirit wellness. You are truly making a difference in the lives of a cancer patient and survivor.
Sign up for an event we have targeted, or pick your own event or challenge, it could be anything you love to do, hiking, biking, running, walking or even skydiving!!
Strength for Life will cover the cost of registration fees/expenses associated with the event you are participating in IF the minimum amount raised is reached. For details on how this works please contact us at 631-675-6513 or email fundraising@strengthforlifeny.org
