What Cancer Cannot Do...Cancer is so limited...

It cannot cripple Love...
It cannot shatter Hope...
It cannot corrode Faith...
It cannot destroy Peace...
It cannot kill Friendship...
It cannot suppress Memories...
It cannot silence Courage...
It cannot invade the Soul...
It cannot steal eternal Life...
It cannot conquer the Spirit....

Do you Know What Hope Is?

Do you know what Hope is?
It's magic and it's free.
It's not in a prescription,
It's not in an IV.

It punctuates our laughter,
It sparkles in our tears
It simmers under sorrow,
And dissipates our fears.

Do you know what Hope is?
It's reaching past today.
It's dreaming of tomorrow
It's trying a new way.

It's pushing past impossible
It's pounding on the door,
It's questioning the answers,
It's always seeking more.

It's rumors of a breakthrough,
It's whispers of a cure,
A roller coaster ride,
Or remedies unsure.

Do you know what Hope is?
It's candy for the soul.
It's perfume for the spirit
To share it...makes you whole.

Donald L. PerryThe Donald L. Perry Foundation For Cancer Research is named for the late Donald Perry, a resi­dent of North Wildwood, New Jersey. Don was a singer and entertainer and a true "beach boy" who loved the sand and surf. His voice brought joy to so many and was the inspiration for the Foundation's "Singing Angel" logo. Don was just 40 years old when he lost his battle with cancer. The grace with which he lived and died served as the motivation for his best friend, Diane Ramftl, to start the Donald L. Perry Foundation For Cancer Research, Inc. The organiza­tion is a non-profit, all volunteer foundation, supported by grants and fundraising events such as, the annual Sunset Dinner Cruise around Atlantic City, the Polar Bear Plunge in Atlantic City, and donations from businesses and individuals across six states.

Angel Logo - DLP FoundationThe mission of the organization is to fund new and innovative cancer research programs that keep hope alive for all cancer patients. Funding is currently being provided for research pro­grams at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia. The organiza­tion has been in operation for 5 years. An anniversary party will take place in September to com­memorate this milestone.

Letter from the President, Diane Ramftl

Dear friends,   September marks the beginning of our 7th. year of operation. It is hard to believe that so much time has passed. Before I tell you about our plans for the upcoming year, I would like to thank our  family of donors for your continuing support during these most challenging times.This past year has tested us all in many ways but our resolve remains strong. The Donald L.Perry Foundation for Cancer Research will continue our efforts on behalf of all cancer patients.

As in years past , we will try to offer great fundraisers as well as opportunities to help that do not tax anyone's budget. . Our first event of the year is the production of "Training Course at Blue Peach's Soul Food Buffet", an original play by singer, actress and comedienne Peachie Lee. It is a  wild and funny play that we hope will tickle everyone's funny bone. We  also have the Fondue for the Foundation event on May 23rd., 2010 and the 7th. Annual Sunset Dinner Cruise on June 27th., 2010.The web site's " Links" page is the place to be  for all your holiday shopping needs. If you are a serious internet surfer, you can make a difference by simply changing your search engine to Goodsearch. Each time you search, a penny will be donated to the Donald Perry Foundation.

Please visit our web site often for updates on fundraisers, the research and much more. Thank you again to our friends and supporters.

Have a great holiday season,   Diane
