District Council 16 Cure Meso Clayshoot

October 14, 2019

The Mesothelioma Research Foundation of America would like to thank everyone who attended this year’s Cure Meso Clayshoot and those at the Southern California Pipetrades District Council 16 who make this event possible year after year. We returned to the Moore ‘N Moore Sporting Clays facility in San Fernando Valley, CA. We saw a large turnout of shooters who joined to raise over $50,000 for mesothelioma research! Attending the event on behalf of the Foundation were Executive Director Elizabeth Ann Paul, Founding Board Members Jim Kellogg and Attorney Jerry Neil Paul, Chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee, Dr. Parkash Gill and Assistant Executive Director, Shane Rucker. As always, 100% of the money generated at the event will go directly to mesothelioma research to help find a cure for this terrible disease.

Southern California Pipetrades District Council 16 Director of Organizing, John Ferruccio has worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the events. It is an absolute pleasure to work with John and his team at DC16 and we cannot thank him enough!

Shooters were blessed with beautiful Southern California weather as we took our best shots at the sporting clays flying over the picturesque canyons of the Angeles National Forest. Sponsors and supporters then gathered for a delicious BBQ and to learn how their donations are helping in the fight against his horrible disease. District Council 16 Director of Organizing John Ferruccio thanked everyone who came out to support the event and those who volunteer their time at MESORFA.

Speaking on behalf of the Foundation were Jerry and Elizabeth Paul who first thanked everyone in attendance and those who had a hand in making the event such a success. Elizabeth Paul talked about the humble roots of the Foundation and how proud we are to see the new developments coming from the lab. Dr. Parkash Gill then spoke about the progress being made by his team of doctors at USC Norris Cancer Center and the promising results of PD-1 and EphB-4 treatment and its expansion into additional treatment facilities across the United States as UC Davis and UCLA.

The Foundation would like to personally thank all of those who organized and supported this year’s Aim to Cure Meso Clayshoot. Without the support and organizing skills of people such as DC 16 Business Manager Rodney Cobos, DC 16 Director of Organizing John Ferruccio and International Piptrades Representative Jim Kellogg these types of events would not be possible.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND DEDICATION!!!
