YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
August 2008
I have always thought that in my lifetime I would love to do something of great importance
not only for my friends and loved ones, but for all the world.
Being that I am not a scientist, I knew that I, Beth Cohen, would never find the cure for
Cancer. But I thought perhaps I could contribute to the funds that would allow those who are
qualified to find the scientific key that will unlock the secret that is the cure.
As breast cancer claimed my mother’s life at the early age of 55, as well as her mother’s at
50, I am sure this was the motivation that led me to Papanicolaou.
Therefore some five years ago, I became involved with The Papanicolaou Corps for
Cancer Research at the very inception of our own Bellaggio Unit for Cancer Research.
Perhaps my desires of “greatness” are shared by many others. Perhaps even by the late
Emily Marie Maag of Miami Beach.
Twenty five years ago, Mrs. Maag quite possibly had those same thoughts, and in her
wisdom, put aside $10,000 in a fund earmarked for Cancer Research.
Unfortunately, in October, 2007, Mrs. Maag passed away at the age of 92. I did not know
her personally. The news of her death came to my attention through her widower, Mr.
Gustav A. Maag.
In March, Mr. Maag informed me of the arrangement that Emily had made 25 years ago,
and proceeded to carry out her wishes by sending the Bellaggio Unit a check in the amount
of $26,058.01.
Although Emily Marie Maag was not a scientist…..who knows, perhaps these funds WILL
make a difference in the future of many who never knew her.
We ALL can make a difference. We ALL can either donate monies now, or make pre-
arrangements for funds to be set aside for Papanicolaou Cancer Research.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
