Team Donovan

On June 6, 2003, Kevin Donovan was diagnosed with Stage IV stomach cancer, at the age 31. Prior to his diagnosis, he had a promising career with AEG. Kevin was working as the Director of Corporate Sponsorship. He was doing what he loved most in the world of sports. He had only been married less than a year when he was struck with the terrible news. The odds were against him but he held his courage like no other.

A month after his diagnosis, he learned about the Beach Cities’ Relay For Life event being held in his beloved South Bay. He was determined to be a big part of it. Two weeks before the event, Team Donovan was formed. He called on his friends, family, and colleagues for support and they answered overwhelmingly. In two short weeks, the team raised over $35,000.

Beach Cities’ Relay For Life 2003 was a much-needed bright spot for Kevin during his very difficult battle with stomach cancer. It was an event he talked about over and over. Although he lost his battle 4 months after his diagnosis, Team Donovan vowed to continue the tradition of touching lives the way Kevin touched ours.
