I have another idea for an event for raising money. I did a Kite Fest that was in a very small town on the east coast, but raised over $3,000 in a day.

I fly 6ft to 11ft kites. Being in that you live in LA, with all of your beaches, and access to great venu’s all around LA. A kite fest with the logo, “Flying for a Cure”. could be used and a lot of monies could be raised in just one day.

There are many kite flying clubs that could be contacted and included some have kites over 80ft tall. Many of these clubs have individuals who show children how to make simple kites out of garbage bags, have special talents to show the public by flying stunt kites, etc. that would make a great draw to the day also.

Just another idea instead of a bike race, and that way Patrick could come and speak to a very large group of people for his message.

Kite vedors could also be asked to come, and with every sale asked to donate a portion of their sales that day to add more to the money raised. Plus who could resist seeing many, many beautiful kites in the sky over the ocean. Hope this gets an idea going to help support the FIGHT on any cancer, and support research.
