This month the Names for the Cure contest is a race! The first person to submit 10 names and addresses (either snail mail or e-mail) will receive a $10 iTunes gift card. Names for the Cure is a program to help the HPS Network create a mailing list for the annual fundraising appeal letter (the Capital Campaign). This database is maintained separately from the membership database. The annual appeal letter is the only letter sent to this group – thus they do not receive tons of junk mail from the HPS Network. Names and addresses can be submitted to the HPS Network at: info@hpsnetwork.org or via snail mail at: One South Road, Oyster Bay NY, 11771.
