Dan and Linda Neve Make Record-breaking Annual Donation to Marshfield Clinic Health System in Support of Cancer Research
MARSHFIELD, WI (OnFocus) – In a remarkable display of commitment to the fight against cancer, Dan and Linda Neve have made their annual “Cruise for a Cause” donation to the Marshfield Clinic Health System. This year’s contribution, totaling over $200,000, stands as the largest single donation in the nonprofit’s 13-year history of supporting cancer research. The Neves’ philanthropy surpasses their own record-setting donation of $175,000 in 2021, underscoring their dedication to making a significant impact in the ongoing battle against cancer.
Cancer has profoundly affected the Neve family, inspiring their mission to give back and offer hope to others facing similar challenges. The annual “Cruise for a Cause” initiative has become a beacon of support for cancer research, with this year’s donation marking a substantial milestone in the nonprofit’s efforts.
Dan Neve, a passionate Mustang enthusiast, initiated “Cruise for a Cause” in 2010 when personal adversity struck his family. Diagnoses of breast cancer for both his mother and wife within a month prompted Dan to channel his love for Mustangs into a powerful force for good. The purchase of a Mustang Shelby GT 500 became the catalyst for a fundraising endeavor that has evolved into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
In its inaugural year, Dan’s fundraising efforts generated $10,000 through donations and sponsorships. The trajectory of “Cruise for a Cause” took a positive turn when Ford invited Dan to display his Mustang Shelby GT 500 at SEMA, leading to the establishment of the nonprofit. Since then, Dan has crisscrossed the country attending automotive events, passionately advocating for support in the quest to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.
With no paid employees, “Cruise for a Cause” operates with the singular goal of maximizing awareness and funds to advance cancer research. Dan Neve, often a featured speaker at events like Susan G Komen, draws inspiration from the progress made against diseases like polio, expressing the hope that future generations will know a world where the impact of cancer is similarly diminished.
