Donald L. Perry Foundation
For Cancer Research, Inc.
“Keeping Hope Alive Through Research”

The Donald L. Perry Foundation For Cancer Research, Inc. is named in honor  of the late Donald L. Perry, who lost his battle with cancer at the young age of 40. Don was raised in Woodbury, New Jersey and spent summers at his family home in North Wildwood. He eventually became a permanent resident of North Wildwood and worked in the restaurant business in Cape May.  He was a true “beach boy” who lived for the ocean, sun and sand. Don was also an entertainer whose soulful voice brought joy to so many and  was the inspiration for the foundation’s logo, The Singing Angel.  He was a wonderful friend, son and brother as well as a favorite uncle to his 26 nieces and nephews.

Don exhibited a strong faith, courage and positive attitude, while fighting a devastating illness. The grace with which he lived and died has served as an inspiration to all who had the privilege to know him.  A few months prior to his death, Don took part in a fundraiser that assisted children with cancer.  His dream was to get well so that he could continue to help others with cancer.

The mission of the Donald L. Perry Foundation is to make his dream a reality and keep hope alive for those stricken with cancer by funding research programs that offer new treatment options.

The foundation is a publicly supported, non-profit tax-exempt organization. We depend on individuals, businesses and other organizations for our support
