Spring Events Recap
Kendra Scott Lehigh Valley hosted a Kendra Gives Back event with over $900 donated to the Andy Derr Foundation! Thank you to all who attended or shopped online to support this cause. Whether you created a beautiful custom piece or found something you loved online, we hope you enjoyed the event. Thank you to the Kendra Scott team for this generous donation!
Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute's Advances in Kidney Cancer Care
ADF was happy to sponsor the Advances in Kidney Cancer Care event at Lehigh Country Club in April. Over 90 patients and family members attended to hear speakers from Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. We thank Katie, Kerri, and Dr. Nair for planning this lovely evening and we look forward to sponsoring it again in the future.
New Donation to St. Luke's University Health Network
ADF is pleased to announce we are elevating educational excellence and research with St. Luke's University Health Network. $25,000 was donated to support a research project within the medical education program studying immune gene mutations. A second $25,000 is ear-marked to continue this research project next year. We are excited to start this new partnership to continue to advance science for kidney cancer patients.
We want to continue to express our thanks and gratitude to all of you that support these fundraising events. Whether you can attend, donate, or share the information, we cannot be successful in our mission to further research, education, engagement, and advocacy for those with kidney cancer with you.
Sincerely,
Joann, Brian, Megan, and Josh
