Enjoy Life Cleaning has partnered with Vineyard Streetball Classic to raise money to battle cancer one cleaning at a time. Enjoy life and Vineyard Streetball have put together a classic basketball game called Knockout to be the way for all citizens to participate. We want to break the Guinness Book of World Record of 701 people at one time! Participating in this game is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you will be a part of it. Your support will help bring the community together to play knockout and raise $10,000 to support our community Cancer Warriors.
By donating you allow us to continue giving Families the wonderful gift of a clean home while undergoing cancer treatments. Our goal is to raise $10,000 this year to help clean one cancer patients home per week. Your gift will let these brave and strong women focus on their health. Enjoy Life Cleaning Services can then focus on, and take away the worry of cleaning their home.
