SEA ISLE CITY BEACH PATROL PARTNERS WITH FOR PETE'S SAKE
In September 1999, Sea Isle City Beach Patrol bid farewell to former lifeguard Peter R. Bossow, Jr., who lost his battle with testicular cancer. Before passing at age thirty, Peter founded For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation (FPS), a non-profit dedicated to providing transformative Respite Experiences for adult cancer patients and their families.
For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation (FPS) enables cancer patients and their loved ones to strengthen, deepen and unify their relationships by creating unforgettable and lasting Respite Experiences. Each month, up to ten families travel to Woodloch Resort, their travel partner in Hawley, Pennsylvania, escaping the relentless cycle of doctor visits, surgeries, tests and treatments. Families create magical, memorable moments through this unique gift of time together, experience joy amidst crisis, confront cancer hardships together, and find emotional healing, hope, and happiness during these uncertain times by connecting with others in the same cancer journey. For those too sick to travel, FPS offers a Staycation Respite Experience focused on creating cherished memories at home.
The beach patrol encourages individuals and teams to support FPS. These cost-free Respite Experiences would not be possible without the community's support, and through your contribution, you will help FPS continue to serve families facing cancer. To fundraise for FPS, visit their page here. You will receive a thank you and receipt directly from For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation.
