Announcement

THANK YOU for your donation to AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION IN HONOR OF GIN GOON

The fundraising campaign was concluded at the end of May. A record donations totalling over $5,500 have been collected plus another $700 from corporation matching donation. CMCNY will be presenting the collection of the donations on July 11 to the New York City Office of the American Lung Association in Mid-town.
Gin Goon was the late founder of CMCNY. He was a mountaineering and hiking expert. His patience and selfless personality had motivated many of us to become outdoor enthusiasts. He had lived a healthy life and had no bad habits of smoking or drinking. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2003 shortly after cancer was diagnosed in his lungs. Since then, in every year CMCNY organizes the 26 miles Gin's Hike to fundraise for American Lung Association in honor of Gin Goon.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR CONTINUING SUPPORT AND GENEROUS DONATIONS.
