Law Offices of John C. Manoog sponsors Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition’s “Against the Tide” fundraiser

Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition Executive Director Cheryl Osimo accepts sponsorship from Attorney John Manoog, principal of the Law Offices of John C. Manoog III, located at 450 South Street, Hyannis. The Firm’s sponsorship will go towards MBCC’s “Against the Tide” swim, walk, run, kayak and run fundraiser fundraiser.

HYANNIS, PLYMOUTH and ROCKLAND, MA…

As a personal injury attorney, John C. Manoog III is quite familiar with going against the tide. He often takes cases to trial that many other lawyers would have settled out of court for less of an award.  Perhaps that best explains his firm’s sponsorship of the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition’s Against the Tide fundraiser; contributing $5000 over the past two years.

“You simply can’t choose a tougher foe than cancer and there is no easy path towards defeating a disease as devastating as breast cancer,” said Manoog. “We commend Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition for taking on this deadly opponent and are happy to support the Against the Tide effort.

For the past fourteen years, the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC) has held the annual Against the Tide swim, walk, run, kayak fundraiser. The morning event includes a competitive and recreational swim, kayak, walk, and run components, as well as an Aquathlon consisting of a competitive 1-mile swim and your choice of a competitive 5K or 10K run.

The Metro Boston Against the Tide event will be held at DCR’s Hopkinton State Park on Saturday, June 22nd. The annual Cape Cod Against the Tide event will be held at DCR’s Nickerson State Park on Saturday, August 17th. Both events start at 7:00am and end at 12:00 noon. Each participant must raise $175 to take part.

“John Manoog and his entire staff are true humanitarians, I am deeply grateful to John for his generous commitment in help us work towards our goal of breast cancer prevention. It is because of sponsors like Attorney Manoog that we are able to continue our education and advocacy efforts to reduce exposure to environmental contaminants linked to breast cancer. He is a credit to his community for helping the state’s leading breast cancer organization to end the legacy of breast cancer for future generations,” said Cheryl Osimo, MBCC’s executive director.

According to the MBCC website:

  • In 2008, Massachusetts had the highest incidence rate of breast cancer in the U.S.
  • National data for 2009 (which is the largest available) reports an incidence rate for breast cancer at 130.3 per 100,000 in Massachusetts compared to an average rate of 123.1 for the U.S. as a whole.
  • Massachusetts is in the top quartile of incidence for breast cancer in the U.S., a group that includes Colorado, Connecticut, Washington DC, Hawaii, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Washington.

Marston Mills resident Rachel Pumphery wins Law Offices of John C. Manoog III “Legal Eagle” Award

Rachel Pumphery

HYANNIS, MA…

Rachel Pumphery fills two roles at the Law Offices of John C. Manoog III, working both as a staff paralegal and assistant to Attorney Michael O’Malley.  As a staff paralegal, one of Rachel Pumphery’s many duties is the drafting of case settlement demand packages on behalf of their clients.   In addition, Rachel serves as a full time assistant to Attorney O’Malley.  While it may seem a thankless task, it did recently earn her the Law Offices of John C. Manoog III’s “Legal Eagle” award for January.

“We created the Legal Eagle award as a way to recognize the hard work and time our staff puts into helping the firm get favorable results for our clients,” said Manoog. “Rachel may work primarily as an assistant to Attorney O’Malley, but she is a team player who has performed at a high level as long as she’s been here. She’s a very deserving winner for the “Legal Eagle” award.”

Pumphery began with the Law Offices of John C. Manoog III in 2005. Prior to that, she had worked in the banking industry.

“There’s always so much to do at the firm and we are often under serious time constraints. It’s nice to know that your efforts are recognized and appreciated,” said Pumphery.

Recently engaged, Pumphery currently resides in Marston Mills.

“The success of a law firm depends on everybody including attorneys and staff pulling their weight and doing what’s necessary to best serve our clients,” said Manoog. “When we achieve a favorable outcome for a client, it’s not solely because the attorney represented them well but, in many cases, because of people like Rachel supported their efforts and that’s how everybody wins.”

A generous advocate. Law Offices of John C. Manoog makes donation to Children’s Cove

HYANNIS, AND PLYMOUTH, MA…

The holidays are a time for giving. For many business owners that means more than buying gifts for family and friends but giving back to the communities in which they do business. In that spirit, The Law Offices of John C. Manoog III recently made a $500 donation to the Children’s Cove Center, The Cape and Islands Advocacy Center.

Children’s Cove is a Barnstable County agency dedicated to helping the Cape & Islands communities respond to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective and efficient and put the needs of child victims of abuse first. Children’s Cove is a freestanding, child-friendly facility designed to ensure that victims of child sexual abuse and their non-offending family members have access to support and services in a safe, respectful, and compassionate environment.

“For families torn apart by instances of child sexual abuse, the holidays can be an extremely difficult time of year,” said John C. Manoog III, a personal injury attorney and principal of the Law Offices of John C. Manoog III. “We wanted to donate to the Children’s Cove to help make the holidays a little brighter for residents of the center and to let people at the agency know their work is appreciated by the community.”

As one of 11 Child Advocacy Centers in Massachusetts, Children’s Cove is an accredited agency through the National Children’s Alliance that provides coordinated and comprehensive services to child victims and their family members. In 2009, Children’s Advocacy Centers around the country served over 254,000 child victims of abuse, providing victim advocacy and support to these children and their families.

“You can’t undervalue the services Children Cove provides,” said Manoog. “I encourage all Cape business owners to reach into their pockets this holiday season and donate to this very worthy cause.

Donations to Children’s Cove can be made directly from their website at http://www.childrenscove.org.
