Starving Students Helps in the Fight Against Cancer
Los Angeles, CA, August 1, 2006: Starving Students Inc., the nation’s leading local mover, helped aid the fight against cancer, volunteering its movers and services for the Concern Foundation’s 32nd Annual Block Party, a charity event which raised an estimated $1.8 million for cancer research in one night.
Starving Students volunteered its movers and trucks for four days to help the Concern Foundation set up and get ready for the block party themed “Great Outdoors Adventure: The Expedition to Conquer Cancer” held Saturday evening on July 15 at the Paramount Pictures lot in Hollywood. The greatly anticipated charity event sold out, and the 4,000 guests reveled in casino-style gaming, lively musical entertainment, California wine tasting, interactive “outdoor” activities, and live and silent auctions.
“The evening was a huge success,” says Steve Freed, Chairman of Concern Foundation, “and we couldn’t have done it without help from Starving Students. No event of this size or magnitude could be orchestrated by just a few people. We are extremely thankful to Starving Students for helping us execute this event.” The Concern Foundation is a nonprofit organization that has been raising funds for cancer research (prevention and treatment) since 1968.
“We aren’t research scientists, we carry heavy things for a living,” says Bear Barnes, CEO of Starving Students, “We’re grateful to the Concern Foundation for giving us a way to help in the effort to find a cure for cancer.” Starving Students also provided assistance for last year’s Block Party and plans to continue helping the Concern Foundation in their future endeavors.
