Over $165,000 Raised for Cancer Research by the California Self Storage Association and Its Members

For immediate release July 22, 2022.

Contact: Jackie Kurtz, 949-748-5916/jackie@kureit.org

Kure It Cancer Research is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based out of Irvine, California. Kure It was started by US Storage Centers and Westport Properties founder, Barry Hoeven, after his own cancer diagnosis. The organization’s mission is to provide direct funding to support the brightest minds in translational research for underfunded cancers at leading cancer centers. With more than 90% of cancers being considered “underfunded,” Kure It provides research grants ranging from $50,000-$250,000 for researchers thinking outside the box with cutting edge projects and concepts. To date, Kure It has raised more than $12.6 million for cancer research and holds true to the belief, “Together We Can Eradicate Cancer”.

As the charity of choice for the California Self Storage Association, Kure It has worked closely with the CSSA, partnering together to help raise money for these worthy causes. Over the years Kure It has been a participant at the CSSA’s annual conferences, both in Napa and Balboa, hosting various fundraising events and displaying their Round Up for Research program to owners and operators in the self-storage industry.

During this year’s Balboa Owners Summit, Kure It took the stage at the conference and made an appeal to help award the next cancer research fund in the name of the California Self Storage Association. There was an overwhelming amount of support, with several owners standing up and making gifts on the spot. The event was a huge success with over $165,000 being raised during that quick ask. The pledges made that day will be added to funds from the 2021 events along with the CSSA Napa Conference to award a cancer research grant at a Comprehensive Cancer Center in California in honor of the CSSA and its members.

Kure It would like to recognize those that stood up and pledged their support to make this new research grant possible.

CSSA Executive Director Ross Hutchings will be the presenter on the Self Storage Clubhouse Group on Tuesday, March 19 at 7:00am PDT. He will discuss the value state associations bring to their industry to help protect and educate businesses.

The Self Storage Clubhouse Investors Group has grown to over 1.1k members in about a year's time. Started by James Reid of StorCo Storage, Luke Wong of 9 Mile Capital and Denee Burns of Tenant Inc, it's a weekly broadcast hosted on the Clubhouse Social Media app which focuses on bringing the industry together and educating. There is no fee to join.

Clubhouse is a new social media app that is more like radio in that it is purely audio; however, audience members can interact with speakers and ask questions which makes it more interactive!

Each week a different person from various segments of self-storage present to educate the self-storage community on how to grow their business.' Operators, Vendors, State Associations and other service sectors offer their knowledge and help to educate. It provides a connecting point for the industry each week as operators said they wanted a platform to connect and continue the education and dialogue after the conferences ended. The industry is so dynamic and changing so rapidly that a weekly connection helps to bridge the gap between conferences and apprise operators of updates and upcoming events.

There is a also a Facebook group that provides further connection where operators can post questions and also offer up faciltiies for sale and vendors can post updates on their products and services and apprise of upcoming events and new developments.

The Facebook group can be found at www.facebook.com/groups/clubhouseinvestors/
