Please join us on Sunday May 18th for our 2nd Annual Frank V. Panzone Jr Memorial Cruisin for a Cure. This is the third year for Cruisin for a Cure but we renamed the event last year to honor Frank V. Panzone Jr. Frank was so giving to his community throughout his life and this was on full display even as he battled stage IV cancer. His spirit, determination and courage in the face of indomitable odds are only a couple of the reasons we are so proud to call this event the Frank V. Panzone Jr Memorial Cruisin for a Cure! You do not need to ride a bike or own a classic car to enjoy the party at Joe Pop’s from 12-5. Please see event flier for details. You can download our Auction Agreement, Registration and Sponsorship forms right here or from our main page. Please Like our Facebook page and Click on our event page for this event.

We were informed that 7 year old Matthew Compitello from Long Beach Township, NJ wanted a way to help families battling cancer during this holiday season. He created the event “Cookies & Cocoa for a Cure” and wanted to donate the proceeds to David’s dream and Believe Cancer Foundation. He served hot chocolate and dished out homemade chocolate chip cookies that his mom Amye baked for the event (Delicious!) to anybody that stopped by his Uncle Steve’s store seawall ARTifacts located at 7712 Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach Township NJ. Matthew was visited by locals, guests that saw the event on social media and Matthew even received a special visit from Mayor Joe Mancini! Matthew raised a whopping $621.00. Way to go Matthew and Thank You!

The Frank Panzone Jr Memorial Cruisin For A Cure was a resounding success on every level. The dark clouds, rain and winds did not dampen the spirits of our Cruisers led by Jillian Panzone riding with her uncle on the back of her dads bike. It also did not dampen the spirits of an estimated 250 people that attended the party at Surf City Hotel. We have to start by thanking our main event sponsor and friends at Panzone’s Pizza. Joyce, Jillian, Kristin, Todd, John, Sam and the entire staff sponsored, volunteered and gave countless hours trying to make this a special day for everybody and we are proud to say we definitely accomplished that together! We want to thank Mark Cioffi and all the staff at the Surf City Hotel for all their efforts involved with the event and party. We have heard nothing but high compliments from our friends and look forward to confirming a date soon for next year’s party back at the Surf City Hotel. Thank you to Ted Hammock and Jason Booth for keeping the party rocking all afternoon. Thank you to our dear friend Sari McGovern Sprinkles the Clown for always keeping the kids busy. A HUGE thank you to all our sponsors, auction donors and the best volunteers in the world! Most importantly thank you to all our supporters that made this event a huge success. We are putting finishing touches on our totals from this event but we are closing in on an incredible 500% increase from last year’s event! Thank You!!!
We Struck Out Cancer last night because of the generosity of so many starting with our main event sponsor Bergen Risk Managers. and close family friends the Cosimano family. The event was dedicated to Mr. Frank Cosimano and the family has asked me to donate the proceeds directly to patients/families in Mr. Cosimano’s name and that’s exactly what we will start doing today. I realized I had my bowling shoes still on when I stopped at a rest stop around 1:30am on my way home. It was a great night seeing so many old/new friends and the support was off the charts. I/We cannot begin to express our sincere gratitude to all of our family, friends and sponsors. Please feel free to email me or post pictures from the event. THANK YOU!
