THANK YOU to the Delaware Valley Purchasing Group for your incredibly generous donation of $10,000! This is the largest single-donation that the Foundation has received in its 38-year history. ❤️💪

"On behalf of the Fifth District AHEPA Family Cancer Research Foundation, I want to express our deepest gratitude to the Delaware Valley Purchasing Group for this extraordinary $10,000 contribution. This is the largest single donation in our Foundation’s 38-year history, and it comes at a time when support for early-stage cancer research is critically important. Every dollar we receive goes toward our grants program, helping promising researchers generate the preliminary evidence they need to advance their work and attract substantially larger sources of funding. DVPG’s generosity will help us give researchers another opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and their commitment to the communities they serve.”
