Last Year’s Event Raised Nearly $124,000

The 26th annual Paws for the Cause, led by Committee Chair Lori Giampaolo, Patient Ambassador Leslie Maxwell, Physician Ambassador Dr. Anthony Villano, and Board of Associates President Barbara O’Donnell, raised $123,833 to support the Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, ovarian cancer research, and the new Young Adult Cancer Program at Fox Chase Cancer Center. This was made possible through the support of our loyal sponsors, including our Title Sponsor West Pharmaceutical Services, and the amazing community that donates to and participates in Paws for the Cause. Thank you!
