SCARVES 4 LIFE DAY Remember those who have lost the battle!
On June 27, 1993, my son Clyde Matthew Carr lost his three-year 8-month battle to Leukemia. I have also lost several family members to other forms of cancer. Researchers work hard to find the cause and the cure. Not only do I want my son remembered, not only do I want others remembered, but I would like to be a part of the cure. I am establishing a “Scarves 4 Life” day to be celebrated on June 27th. The scarves sell for $10.00 each. While orange is the color that represents Leukemia and pink for Breast Cancer, many other colors represent other cancers. Five of the $10.00 will go to the research of the particular color scarf sold. The Clyde Matthew Carr Scholarship/Benevolence Fund also contributes to the research for the cure(s) of cancers. One of the catalyst of wearing a scarf on June 27th is that it should be warm that day and someone should ask, “Why are you wearing a scarf?” That gives opportunity to talk about your loved one and educate someone. If you have any questions/concerns, or would like to purchase a scarf, please email me at
