Each year about 13,500 children are diagnosed with cancer in the United States, but less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute's budget is dedicated to childhood cancer research, 

The primary focus of the Monterey County-based Key for a Cure Foundation, which was founded in 2015, is to advocate and raise funds for pediatric cancer research initiatives that lead to less toxic forms of cancer treatment and a cure for cancer. 

Pediatric cancer research can save lives and innovative treatments can significantly improve the quality of life for survivors. 

About Key For A Cure Foundation

Key for a Cure Foundation was formed in 2015 to support pediatric cancer research. The mission of the foundation is to raise funds to directly support innovative pediatric cancer research that will lead to more effective treatments for children with cancer. 

Key for a Cure Foundation is committed to fighting pediatric cancer.  The foundation is currently working to raise funds for T cell based Immunotherapy research being conducted at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  The foundation raised $700,000.00 in the first year after the non-profit was established and donated the funds to this innovative research protocol. 

Key for a Cure is operated by volunteers. Our board is dedicated to making a significant difference with a commitment that all funds raised by Key for a Cure go directly into supporting our mission. 

Key for a Cure also has a low operating expense of 4%, we do not spend donated money on flights, hotel stays, bonuses, and dinners for board members. This enable us to qualify for grants that are specific to non-profits with low operating expenses. 

The Key for a Cure board requires 100% financial participation and every board member purchases tickets to our events because we too are financially invested in finding a cure for cancer.

Cinnamon Shore for the Holidays: Your Holiday Home Away from Home Awaits

  The Texas Coast’s popular, resort-style village helps families make memorable celebrations.

Port Aransas, Texas, September 22, 2020 - Holidays typically draw families home, but this year, many are looking to gather for celebrations elsewhere. After all, everyone has spent a lot of time at home in the pandemic era.

Now vacationers are choosing road trips to the Texas Coast—and to Cinnamon Shore. “We’re breaking records for fall bookings, but we still have availability for Thanksgiving week and into the Christmas season,” says Jeff Lamkin, developer of this New Urban development in Port Aransas, Texas.

Unconstrained by a school calendar or expectations to come to an office, families have freedom to learn and work from anywhere. People are seeking to be together in a place that feels special, but also private, safe, and secure—with wide open spaces and plenty of fresh air. That’s what Cinnamon Shore offers.

“With all the challenges and changes that 2020 has brought, it’s a great year to try something different around the holidays and to celebrate in a place where all you have to do is relax,” says Celeste Edwards, general manager of Cinnamon Shore Vacation Rentals. Those who book between Thanksgiving and New Year’s will appreciate all that this charming destination offers:

·       Large beach homes that can accommodate multiple families. Many Cinnamon Shore rentals boast two master suites, two living areas, multiple decks, designer kitchens, and plenty of seating for mealtimes.

·       Condos and cottages with master suites and bunks rooms. Smaller scale rentals also offer everything families need. And one-bedroom condos welcome couples or solo guests.

·       A fitness center overlooking the Dune Pool. Keep moving during holiday getaways with Peloton bikes, treadmills, and more. Our workout center keeps safety top of mind with limited capacity and stringent cleaning standards.

·       On-site restaurants. Guests can enjoy popular newcomers at Cinnamon Shore―Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria and Coffee Waves, along with long-time favorite Lisabella’s Bistro.

·       Village retail. The Bottle Shoppe liquor store opened in 2020, along with The Market, which offers sundries, produce, cheeses, and Cinnamon Shore merchandise.

·       Easy beach access. Dune crossovers make it easy for guests of all ages to get to the beach via a stroll or golf cart ride.

·       Quiet season charms. The less-crowded beach is just as beautiful in cooler weather. 

Cinnamon Shore has grown into a full-fledged resort-style village with luxury accommodations, and its nearby expansion, Cinnamon Shore South, offers more beachside rentals with designer selections and style.

Special Dates During The Holidays

At Thanksgiving, get turkey and all the fixings on site at Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria, offering a $45-per-person meal that includes sliced turkey, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean almandine, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Order by Monday, Nov. 18; call 361.416-1844. For those who prefer to do it all themselves, Cinnamon Shore rentals have fully equipped kitchens. The Market at Cinnamon Shore will have beer and wine available for purchase.

The Christmas season kicks off at Cinnamon Shore with a visit from Santa and his reindeer on Sat., Nov. 28, when families can take photos in the Town Center. Port Aransas hosts its Golf Cart Parade and Lighted Boat Parade on Sat., Dec. 5—another great time to book at Cinnamon Shore.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s is a quiet season favorite, and on New Year’s Eve, chef-run Lisabella’s Bistro will offer a prix fixe menu.

As days cool, guests can enjoy Cinnamon Shore’s heated Stillwater Pool or bundle up for beach walks. Many rentals have fireplaces for cozy holiday nights.

“We hope many guests make spending time at the beach a new holiday tradition,” says Edwards.

Looking to invest in a drive-to, vacation destination with great design and resort amenities? Then now’s the time to buy into Cinnamon Shore South—the fast-rising expansion of the Cinnamon Shore development in Port Aransas. 

Cinnamon Shore Realty will host a one-time-only Cottage Presale, Homesite Release, and Price Reveal on Sat., Oct. 10, at 9 a.m. at the new community, offering great pricing for new Founding Neighbors. Cinnamon Shore South is located at 5800 TX-361, Port Aransas, 78373. 

Buyers who get in on the ground level at this event will have the: 

·        First opportunity to hear Next Phase pricing details, revealed exclusively at the event!

·        First look at: 

Charming cottages under construction by Waggoner Construction

·        7 2BR and 3BR  Lakeside Cottages ranging 900 to 1,275 square feet, named for tiny seashells

·        4 1BR Bridge Cottages at 880 SF, named for famous bridges

“We expect a flurry of paperwork to be completed that morning, so interested buyers should register early and be ready!” says Jodi Peters, broker at Cinnamon Shore Realty. “If people have watched Cinnamon Shore mature and seen its expansion at ‘South’ selling so quickly, they’ll realize what a great opportunity this weekend will be.” 

Great homes already under construction might be a match for some buyers. Others serious about owning a piece of the Texas coast will find home site prices too tempting to pass up. “We’re excited to see who joins the Founding Neighbors of this special coastal community,” Peters says. 

Record Sales at Cinnamon Shore 

At the original community, now known as Cinnamon Shore North, and at burgeoning Cinnamon Shore South, buyer interest has been high in 2020, with 65 transactions recorded for the year as of August 31, 2020. “Families fall in love with Cinnamon Shore, and they’re eager to find luxury vacation homes in driving distance of Austin, San Antonio, Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston,” Peters says. “We’ve sold all of our standing inventory at South, with just 10 sites left in our first phase, so there’s great anticipation about the 35 sites being released in this next phase.” 

With 150 Gulf-front acres and a thoughtful masterplan, Cinnamon Shore South is about three times as large as 63-acre Cinnamon Shore North, which was established in 2006. South broke ground in Fall 2018 and already has more than 25 homes completed or under construction. It centers around a 7-acre lake; a resort pool complex; and its own Town Center. “South offers more of what people love about the Cinnamon Shore lifestyle,” Peters says, “and the next phase will be spectacular.” 

How to Register & Weekend Agenda! 

To register for the event, visit Cinnamon Shore South under Real Estate at cinnamonshore.com. Or call 361-749-1851 or email jodi@cinnamonshore.com.
