Please join us for hors d'oeuvres and a reading (with raffle prizes and more surprises!) to celebrate LOVE and HOPE.
Join the party. Book and raffle proceeds will be donated to the Susan Satriano Foundation.
An astounding number of high school seniors have had to deal with the hardships, emotional scars and the devastation of seeing a parent either battling cancer or unfortunately succumb to it. Many of these kids would never be eligible for academic awards simply because their grades suffer as they have to take on responsibilities that one or both of their parents can no longer handle.
Joe Satriano lost his wife to cancer but carried on their legacy of love by writing an inspiring memoir, In Sickness and In Health: A Memoir of Love (by J.S. Russo). He also started a foundation in his wife's name that brings hope and strength to the "silent suffers," the children whose parents have struggled with cancer.
The Susan Satriano Memorial Scholarship Foundation has aided over 450 high school students all across the country with almost $300,000 in its first 8 years. In 2012 alone the Foundation helped over 170 students in the United States. These monies are earmarked for college education. To be eligible for the award they must be a graduating senior going in the fall to a college. They must have a parent who has passed away of cancer, or have a parent who is presently battling it.
