DeGregorio Family Foundation

DeGregorio Family Foundation DeGregorio Family Foundation - Turning Fact Into Fiction The DeGregorio Family Foundation has raised more than $1.2 million to date.

With limited financial resources, DFF has made significant inroads including:
•$515,000 has been raised to fund an early onset gastric cancer registry at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) that already boasts 700 participants. The MSKCC registry has opened satellite locations at Queens Cancer Center in New York and the University of Southern California domestically; as well as a hospit

al in Nigeria, with other international locations soon to be opened. These registries collect DNA and family histories to better understand the various types of stomach cancers. To read more on the registry, please visit the MSKCC Gastric Cancer Registry.
•As a result of research stimulated by the initial support, MSKCC has received additional peer reviewed funding awards of $200,000 to further expand gastric cancer research.
•Over $200,000 has been raised for a fund established in Eileen (DeGregorio) Dounce’s name at MSKCC to fund stomach cancer research.
•An additional $650,000 has been raised for DFF to award research grants for promising doctors and scientists. The 2009 DFF Grant for Upper GI research was awarded to Dr. Matthew Meyerson of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in the amount of $100,000.
