Brendan Borek loved life, and life it seemed, loved Brendan. An avid surfer, gifted artist, and an agile soccer player, his teenage years mirrored life at its fullest.

Diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma (cancer of the bone) at 16, he vied against death with courage and dignity until the disease claimed him in December 1991.

Because Brendan touched the
hearts of many, the Brendan Borek High Tides Memorial Fund, Inc. (Brendan’s Fund) was established in 1992 by his family and friends. Visit the About Us section to find out more.

HERE YE! HERE YE!

THE 2011 TURKEY TROT sponsored by Cape Fitness in W. Cape May was held on a glorious Thanksgiving Morning. Friends and families joined in to enjoy a 2.5 Mile Run/Walk for Brendan’s Fund. The event has been continually growing. This year over 300 people participated with Turkeys and Pilgims joining in on the fun! They have helped to raise over $4700 to help us support families with a child struggling though the effects of pediatric cancer.

We would like to thank Cape Fitness and the Rohanna Family for going the distance for the past 10 years. We would also like to thank the Vogel Family who will continue this event in the future.

GOALS FOR GOOD

Victor Krivitski’s friends and team mates from the Colgate University Hockey Team wanted to remember their friend in a special way. One of the organizations they’ve chosen is “Brendan’s Fund”. “By partnering with 11 other ECAC Hockey members, both men and women, they have created “GOALS FOR GOOD. These teams will raise money for 12 different non-profit charities. Each team is now partnered with a local charity in their community. The donations raised from the goals and wins they score during the season will go to their individual charities. Goals for Good is also looking for partnerships to provide bonus donations to the teams that raise the most money during the season.” For more information click on the link below and we look forward to a successful hockey season.
