It all began with just a single cell. It is incredible how much change a single breast cell can cause in the world. Slowly passing through the various stages of growth and division over the forty some odd years that Eileen Stein Jacoby had lived cancer free, a genetic mutation had set off a cascade of uncontrolled mitotic divisions, which years later would show up on a mammogram as a pea sized mas

s of cells. While almost all cases of breast cancer negatively affect the families and friends of those individuals with the disease, Eileen’s ductal carcinoma was unique in that out of her struggle and eventual death, strangely a whole lot of good would be created in the world. Following her three year struggle with breast cancer, Eileen Stein Jacoby passed away in April of 1999 at the young age of 45. Eileen was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, and a friend to many, and her legacy was carried on by those who loved and cared for her. A year after Eileen’s passing, with the help of her extended family and friends, Eileen’s sister, Cheryl Herman, threw all of her energy into creating the Eileen Stein Jacoby Fund for Breast Cancer Research at Fox Chase Cancer Center as a lasting tribute to her sister’s life. With tremendous support from her husband Scott, her children, her parents, her brother, and niece and nephew, and close friends, The Eileen Stein Jacoby Fund at Fox Chase Cancer Center was established. Small but mighty, the Eileen Stein Jacoby Fund (ESJF) has achieved a tremendous amount during its short existence. The fund supports an amazing research team, and its fundraising efforts have had a tremendous impact on their work. The ESJF supports the laboratory of Molecular Biologist and Geneticist Andrew K. Godwin, PhD at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Godwin and his team of researchers study the hereditary and non-hereditary factors that influence one's risk of developing breast cancer and one's response to therapy. The ESJF also sponsored Dr. Xiaowei Chen when he first joined Dr. Godwin’s laboratory in 2002. His studies involve the identification of additional genetic factors that contribute to hereditary breast cancer. Instead of being used to buy a piece of expensive equipment that will one day become obsolete, our money is used to support a much more valuable and important part of cancer research—new researchers. 100% of the money that the ESJF raises goes towards supporting research. The ESJF has NO paid employees, we are ALL volunteers. Every single cent that the ESJF has collected over the past eight years from various fundraising events has gone towards supporting nothing but breast cancer research. The many fundraising activities organized by Cheryl and her army of committee members and volunteers include: an annual bowling benefit, golf outing, shopping sprees and special events at various businesses, holiday gift-wrapping at the Neshaminy Mall, sporting event trips, breast cancer apparel sales, trips to see Broadway shows in New York, breast cancer awareness events at colleges, high schools, middle schools, and local businesses, charity concerts, charity poker-tournaments, hypnotist and comedy dinner shows, and even square-dances. Cheryl, along with her family, friends, and dedicated volunteers remain committed to supporting breast cancer research. We believe that the money we raise will make a difference in the fight against this dreaded disease.

August 18th is World Breast Cancer Research Day. I’m pleased to announce that A Long Term Companion will be matching the first 25 individual donations made to the Eileen Stein Jacoby Fund, to help the mission of finding a cure for breast cancer.

The Eileen Stein Jacoby Fund (ESJF) is a 503c nonprofit that donates 100% of the proceeds that it raises to supporting research performed by NCI affiliated hospitals.

The ESJF has raised over $3 Million for breast cancer research since its founding in 2000. For almost 25 years, its volunteers have been dedicated to supporting breast cancer research and making a difference in the fight against the disease.

A Long Term Companion (ALTC) is a family owned and operated home care agency that has been helping families throughout the Delaware Valley since 2010.

ALTC has earned The Joint Commissions’ Gold Seal of Approval for Home Care Accreditation, and was named the #1 home care provider in Pennsylvania and #13 in North America earlier this year by Home Care Pulse.

Dear Supporters of The Eileen Stein Jacoby Fund,

In honor of Giving Tuesday we have made a pledge to Fund a major project for the scientific labs of Dr. Elias Obeid, MD, MPH,
at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.
Dr. Obeid specializes in the treatment of Breast Cancer with a particular interest in the treatment
of triple-negative and hereditary breast cancers as well as providing risk assessment for Breast, O***y and Prostate Cancer.

The funds that we provide Dr. Obeid will allow Fox Chase Cancer Center to evaluate and optimize the use of Breast MRI screenings for women at high risk of developing breast cancer.

The Eileen Stein Jacoby Fund remains a one hundred percent volunteer organization that donates its proceeds to NCI designated Breast Cancer Research facilities. We realize that there are many charities seeking your support and we remain committed to making sure that your donation dollars are not wasted on excessive overhead and actually fund the project at hand.

To date we have raised over 3.5 million dollars for Research and our fund has been credited with funding numerous significant scientific research projects since our inception in 2001.

Donations can be made through our website at http://www.esjffund.org or mailed to us at:
