Kite-flying fundraiser on Saturday benefits lung cancer research
The Miami Herald11/4/2011
 West Kendall Today

Lily’s Light: Kites for a Cure® will host its third annual family kite-flying event at the hill in Tropical Park in West Dade from 12 noon to 3 p.m. on Sat., Nov. 5. The event honors Lily Plaza, a non-smoker who lost her battle with lung cancer in January 2008, at the age of 61.

With a donation of $25 per kite flyer ($30 on event day), participants can make a difference in the fight against lung cancer and bring greater lung cancer awareness to the South Florida area. With their donation, participants will receive their own kite to decorate, an event T-shirt and giveaways and enjoy a fun-filled family afternoon with food and music.  Proceeds from the kite fly will benefit Uniting Against Lung Cancer, a foundation that funds research about the disease.

“Over the last two years we’ve raised over $47,000, which allowed us to co-fund our first lung cancer research grant in memory of my mom," said Anna Plaza, daughter of Lily Plaza and founder of Lily’s Light. "This year we are continuing our battle against lung cancer and striving to fund another grant so we grow another step closer to finding a cure.

Plaza added: "One out of four women succumbs to lung cancer each year; and in 1987, lung cancer surpassed breast cancer as the #1 cancer killer of women. It is a battle I will continue to fight in my mom’s memory and for all those who are living with or have died from lung cancer.” 

This year, more than 200,000 families in America will face a lung cancer diagnosis. To combat this insidious disease, Lily’s Light in collaboration with Uniting Against Lung Cancer is funding innovative research into the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. Thanks to families and friends of lung cancer patients who have made a financial investment in our mission, the foundation is making a difference. In only eight years of funding, Uniting Against Lung Cancer has awarded over $9 million in research grants across the country. Together we are funding research to find a cure.

Visit www.lilyslight.kintera.org to register or make a donation online. For more event information, contact Anna Plaza at lilyslight@bellsouth.net or visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/lilyslight

Uniting Against Lung Cancer is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization committed to fight lung cancer by funding innovative research and increasing awareness of lung cancer, including in those who never smoked.

City schoolgirls paint imaginations on kites

New Delhi, Sep 22 (PTI) A large number of girl students from city schools today joined a unique campaign by painting their imaginations on kites.Several messages on over 500 kites were on display in the "Let Her Fly" campaign, ranging from those about helping others by aspiring to become teachers, police officers, doctors, to short poems on "What they like doing," apart from drawings on their role models."I am Minakshi, a student of Class VIII. Thanks to Mamma and Pappa for letting me live. I want to study a lot. I want to become a pilot," said a kite at the exhibition jointly organised by CRY and card makers Archies."One in every 13 girls does not survive beyond the age of six. An estimated 15 million girls were not even allowed to be born during the past decade. Is this the society where we take pride living in," CRY director Yogita Verma asked.Speaking about the campaign, she said, "These kites are a symbol of freedom and emancipation from discrimination." According to Verma, economic empowerment being supplemented with easy, unchecked access to technology, it has even become easier to detect a girl child in the womb."Why only rural areas, in some highly advanced areas like south Delhi, sex ratio stands at a drastic 866 per thousand, which is well below the national average," she said.
