Hi,
Thanks for logging on to Jon4Pink.com. I'm Jon Kent, Real Estate Broker/Associate with Island Real Estate in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, Florida. At 55 years old, I'd like to give back to my community and do some good in the world! |

I've decided to work at increasing breast cancer awareness and aid research and education. I don't know many families who have not been touched by breast cancer. It seems we all know someone who has done battle with this disease! Breast cancer does not discriminate. Yes, even men can be affected! It is all around us. The key to surviving is early detection of the disease and treatment.
|
My own family has experienced this dreadful disease. My youngest sister is a 13 year breast cancer survivor. My wife Lee's mother, sister and aunt are breast cancer survivors. My mother had surgery for breast cancer 40 years ago when treatments were radical, and she's a survivor. Since then, great strides in treatment have been made due to the hard work of countless people. The dollars received in donations help fund medical research and educate the public about breast cancer. Breast cancer education, research and awareness does work. It has made a difference in so many lives!

| It is very important to help spread the word about early detection to save lives. I've created this website to give those folks who would like to help; a starting point to learn about breast cancer, research and education. The goal is to educate as many people as we can about early detection. You will find a list of some good organizations and their websites on this page. |
But Jon, Where Do You Come In?
 |
I plan on using my real estate business to increase donations to the local chapters of these fine organizations. From my proceeds of each real estate closing (every sale of a house or condo) I participate in as the buying or selling broker, I will make a 5% donation to one of the organizations listed here. My goal is to personally raise $10,000 this year by spreading the word about breast cancer awareness! Will you help me reach my goal? |
