Triple J Saipan Inc. has donated the proceeds of its 2nd Annual Family Bubble Color Fun Run\/Walk to two beneficiaries: the Commonwealth Cancer Association and the Make-A-Wish Foundation Guam\/CNMI Chapter.<\/p>\n

Triple J officials handed two checks totaling $20,000 yesterday to CCA executive director Juan Babauta and Make-A-Wish Foundation board member Kanae Quinn. Each organization got $10,000 each.<\/p>\n

Babauta said the money would go to the upcoming Marianas March Against Cancer. <\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Commonwealth Cancer Association and the March Against Cancer board of directors, we are greatly appreciative of the generous donation from Triple J Saipan. The proceeds donated will help those who bear the burden of battling cancer and cancer-related illnesses and help fund awareness and prevention programs within our communities,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

MMAC board member Bobby Cruz added that, although there was every excuse to cancel the March, including ongoing recovery from Super Typhoon Yutu, donations from sponsors like Triple J is making it possible to move forward with the event. <\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the strife and struggle Super Typhoon Yutu caused, you guys are giving us the opportunity to keep the fight against cancer going,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
