At Sideline Cancer, we are thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievement of our Founder & President, Cathy Griffith, who has been recognized as one of Pennsylvania Business Central’s Top 100 People of 2025! This prestigious honor highlights individuals who demonstrate vision, determination, and a relentless drive to make a difference in their workplace and community. Cathy exemplifies these qualities through her leadership, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to supporting cancer patients and their families.

The Pennsylvania Business Central’s annual list recognizes standout individuals across central Pennsylvania who expand opportunities, inspire others, and elevate excellence in their fields. Cathy’s inclusion on this list is a testament to her dedication and the impact she has had through Sideline Cancer.

A Legacy of Advocacy and Impact

Cathy Griffith’s leadership at Sideline Cancer has been nothing short of extraordinary. Under her guidance, the organization has made significant strides in pancreatic cancer awareness, patient assistance, and community-driven fundraising efforts.

  • National and Regional Advocacy: Through the Sideline Cancer TBT Basketball Team, the mission of pancreatic cancer awareness has reached national and international audiences. Closer to home, the Sideline Cancer Athletics AAU Basketball and Softball Teams continue to inspire young athletes to play for a purpose.
  • Sideline Cancer Patient Assistance Program: One of the most impactful aspects of the organization’s work is empowering students and schools to support cancer patients in their communities. To date, students in Central Pennsylvania have raised over $200,000 for more than 50 cancer patients, offering financial relief and hope to families in need.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Upon receiving this recognition, Cathy took to social media to express her gratitude, stating:
“A Great Team Beats With ONE Heart! Thank You Pennsylvania Business Central and Thank You to our Awesome Sideline Cancer Board of Directors, Executive Director Jordan Griffith, Sponsors, Volunteers, and Community who make it an Honor and Pleasure to Serve Others!”

Her words reflect the spirit of collaboration that drives Sideline Cancer forward. It is through the support of dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, and a compassionate community that this mission continues to grow and thrive.

The Power of Belief and Teamwork

Cathy’s leadership embodies the belief that “When Wisdom and Energy Team Up, All Things Are Possible With God Who Strengthens Us.” Her passion, faith, and tireless efforts have created a movement that goes beyond fundraising—it’s about instilling hope, making meaningful connections, and fighting cancer together.

We are incredibly proud of Cathy and grateful for her leadership. This recognition is well-deserved, and we know that her impact will continue to inspire many in the years to come.
