Collection Law Firm Sponsoring 5K Run to Help Baby with Brain Cancer

This summer, the collection law firm of Cohen & Slamowitz, LLP (Woodbury, NY) is demonstrating its compassion for those in need by sponsoring  Dumont Cares Fund’s 5K Run in Dumont, New Jersey, to help raise funds for a 17-month baby with brain cancer.

The infant has had three operations to remove a tumor and is currently undergoing chemotherapy at Hackensack Medical Hospital. The event is being run by fellow National Association of Retail Collection Attorneys (NARCA) member, Harry Stylianou (Paramus, NJ), who is a Dumont Councilman and Dumont Cares Fund co-chair, as part of the Fund’s annual program.  The Dumont Cares Fund was established to benefit families who, because of a recent tragedy, are in need of financial assistance. The run will take place on Saturday, September 10th, 2011 at Dumont High School in Dumont, New Jersey.

Cohen & Slamowitz’s Mitchell Selip, Esq., who has sponsored previous Dumont Cares events stated, “We are proud to be a sponsor of this year’s Dumont Cares Fund 5K Run. Not only is this a cause we can all get behind, but we value the initiative our professional colleague Harry Stylianou continues to demonstrate in helping meet the needs of the local community.”

The 2011 Dumont Run will feature four components: the 5K run for students and seniors, a 1-1/2 mile walk, and ½ mile sprint to the finish for ages 5-10 years and a 1-1/2 mile kids run for ages 14 years and under. Trophies will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place male and female finishes in various categories.  Participants will receive t-shirts and gift bags while supplies last.
