A MESSAGE FROM Melissa's Fundraising Page
I am running the 2024 TCS NYC Marathon as a member of Team Blue Card! I had such an incredible experience last year and raised $12,270 thanks to all of your support and I'm looking to quite literally, run it back this year!
Team Blue Card's mission is to help raise funds and awareness for Holocaust survivors living either at or below the poverty level in the United States. This critical funding will provide financial assistance to survivors.
The phrase "Never Again" is often associated with the Holocaust and how we should never again let events like that unfold. After the attacks in Israel on October 7th, Never Again, is now. The Blue Card charity hits home for me as my grandparents survived the Holocaust, but unfortunately we had many family members who did not survive. I've included a picture of one side of my family; my grandpa, great uncle, and their family growing up that was taken shortly before the Holocaust started. My grandpa and great uncle were the only two survivors in their family. My great uncle's story can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Will-Survive-Andrew-Klein-Story/dp/1490302891
Please consider donating to Team Blue Card to help those Holocaust survivors who are still living and in need of our help. Learn more about The Blue Card here: https://bluecardfund.org/
