The Green Cocoon (TGC) owners Jim Materkowski and Candace Lord attended a breast cancer awareness event, “Evening by the Sea.” The event was held on August 11, 2019 at Wentworth by the Sea in Rye, NH. Moreover, it was a fundraiser put on by My Breast Cancer Support. The nonprofit organization provides financial and emotional support to breast cancer patients. These patients live not only in the Greater Seacoast area of New Hampshire but also in Southern Maine.

Giving Back

“The team at The Green Cocoon not only loves working in our community, but also working with our community,” said Lord, herself a breast cancer survivor. “Awareness is very important to me as I am currently undergoing chemotherapy with one treatment left. Furthermore, my prognosis is great and I want to do whatever I can to help other women going through the same thing. Equally important is early detection.”

At the fundraiser attendees enjoyed music, complimentary champagne, hearty appetizers, dessert tastings, and gourmet coffees. Not to mention they were able to bid on silent auction items as well as win raffle gifts.

The Green Cocoon, LLC (TGC) and Spray Foam Distributors of Boston (SFDoB) held a “Shave It Off to Beat Cancer” fundraiser on August 6. The event was held at SFDoB’s location in Waltham, Massachusetts. The fundraiser honored Candace Lord, TGC Vice President, and Kerry Blye from North East Foam Solutions. Moreover, both ladies were recently diagnosed with cancer and their prognoses and attitudes are excellent!

Shave It Off to Beat Cancer

Knowing that her hair would fall out soon, Lord decided to make the first move and shave it off and raise money for cancer research. She, along with family and friends, raised over $4,000 for research and all of the proceeds went directly to the Dana Farber Cancer Research Center.

Community Support Is Everything
