Member Club of New York - New Jersey Trail Conference
Thank you for your donation to American Lung Association in honor of Gin GoonIn honor of our founder Mr. Gin Goon, CMCNY members raised $7,062 of donations to the American Lung Association. On June 29, the donations were presented to the American Lung Association at its Mid-town headquarter. Mr. Gin Goon founded CMCNY in 1984 to promote outdoor activities as a healthy life style. His dedication had built CMCNY from a few members to a non-profit organization of over a hundred members. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2003 shortly after cancer was diagnosed in his lungs. We honor him by fundraising to the American Lung Association every year in May. ALA is very appreciative on our effort and thanks everyone for the heartily donations to support the work of ALA on improving lung health and preventing lung diseases.
