will present
this
distinguished,
national
honor to
Patrick
Park.
“Patrick
Park is a
dear friend
of mine and
I can’t
think of
anyone
better to be
receiving
this award,”
said Mr.
Trump. “His
service to
the
community
and most
importantly

for
dedicating
her time,
talent,
energy and
resources to
The American

more than 30
years. Mr.
Park has
also been a
long-standing,
devoted
benefactor
and a
dedicated
leader to
The American
Cancer
Society and
throughout
the
community.
His
commitment
and passion
to this
organization
for more
than 20
years is why
Dame Farris,
in
conjunction
with the
Board of
Trustees,
personally
selected him
to receive
this most
prestigious
award.
“Dame Celia
has been a
treasured
friend of
mine for
many years,
and I am
grateful and
humbled to
be receiving
an award
that was
first
created for
her. In
addition,
the American
Cancer
Society is a
cause very
close to my
heart and I
am proud to
be part of
an
organization
that is
making such
incredible
progress in
the fight
against
cancer,”
said Park.

Proceeds
raised
through the
American
Cancer Gala
on Palm
Beach
further the
organization’s
mission to
eliminate
cancer as a
major health
problem.
The
American
Cancer
Society
combines an
unyielding
passion with
nearly a
century of
experience
to save
lives and
end
suffering
from cancer.
We save
lives by
helping
people stay
well through
preventing
cancer or
detecting it
early; by
helping
people get
well by
being there
for them
during and
after a
cancer
diagnosis;
by finding
cures
through
investment
in ground
breaking
discovery;
and by
fighting
back by
rallying
lawmakers to
pass laws to
defeat
cancer and
rallying
communities
worldwide to
join the
fight. As
the nation’s
largest
non-governmental
investor in
cancer
research,
contributing
about $3.4
billion, we
turn what we
know about
cancer into
what we do.
