Cathy and Greg Griffith
The history of the Griffith Family Foundation is a tragic but inspiring chapter in the story of Greg and Cathy Griffith.
In the summer of 2015, Cathy had the great privilege of meeting Anne Friedman Glauber at the North American Pancreatic Cancer Meeting.
From FOX25 in Boston:
“Doctors and researchers at the Cancer Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are on the cusp of a major breakthrough that could change how pancreatic cancer patients are treated.
The Griffith Family Foundation/Sideline Cancer Youth Initiative was proud to take the following students/volunteers to Washington D.C. to the 27th annual Public Policy Forum for the Digestive Disease National Coalition: Caitlyn Edgell, Marissa Lombardi, Sierra Cobler, Joel Redfoot, Mary Ann Redfoot, Bonnie Waltz, and Kaitlin Farnan.
During 2016, Cathy served as Secretary of The Digestive Disease National Coalition (DDNC) and was recently nominated in December to serve as Vice Chair of the DDNC.
She will be attending the Annual DDNC meeting March 5th and 6th where they will discuss strategies on how to build momentum for funding for the #CancerMoonShot2020.
On November 17, 2016, we are joining with our global counterparts in recognizing World Pancreatic Cancer Day to help raise awareness for the catastrophic disease that is pancreatic cancer.
Cathy Griffith was recently awarded a local Jefferson Award because of The Griffith Family Foundation and Sideline Cancer’s efforts to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer and to raise funding for pancreatic cancer research.
The Griffith Family Foundation has donated from 2010 to date over $200,000 to the research efforts of Dr. A. James Moser MD FACS, Co-Director, Pancreas and Liver Institute Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
