THE PURPLE PARTY

We are having a PARTY!!! SINGLE TICKETS ARE $150.
In light of recent NIH funding cuts, we have decided to throw a big party and raise lots of money for our pancreatic cancer research team.

Overbrook Country Club has generously waived their venue fee and we have photographer friends and florist friends and music friends who will donate their services. We will find friends to help us cover any additional expenses, so 100% of your sponsorship or ticket price will go directly to Penn.

We are also celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Penn Pancreatic Cancer Research Center, and honoring Dr. Benjamin Stanger that evening.

We have all the sponsor levels listed below- donation may be made here on this page via credit card or by check made out to A Love for Life and sent to:

A Love for Life
117 North Lincoln Avenue
Newtown PA 18940

If you want just a single ticket, the cost is $150. You may donate that here on this page. We will have a list of everyone who donated at the door when you arrive- no need for a physical ticket in hand!

For those who live in the Newtown area...... we have booked a PARTY BUS!!!! Leaving Newtown at 5pm/ leaving the party at 9:50pm. Text Bill Davis 215-500-2359 and he will give you all the bus info and reserve your spot ($20 per person round trip)

Thank you for your support!

We will have LOTS OF FOOD at our cocktail reception, with an open bar, live and silent auctions, performance by the Sidewinder Jazz Quartet, updates from our research team and inspiring stories. Sponsorship is open to individuals, businesses and non-profits and supports our Abramson Cancer Center pancreatic cancer research team- 100% of the money we raise will fund their cutting edge research. We hope you will join us!
