Meet Our Donors
Eugene and Judith Bradbury
When Eugene Bradbury was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, he and his wife, Judith, feared the worst. Everything they read estimated that he’d have around three years to live. But then they went to Roswell Park. There, they learned that Eugene had options, including a novel treatment that wasn’t available anywhere else.
Mitch Flynn and Ellen Goldstein
For Mitch Flynn and Ellen Goldstein, the decision to name Roswell Park in their estate plans was a natural step. Mitch’s relationship with Roswell Park dates back decades, best exemplified by his founding of Ride for Roswell. For Ellen, Roswell is the place that supported her sister during breast cancer treatment and later became a source for own preventative breast care.
Terry Bourgeois and Maria Coccia-Bourgeois
For Maria Coccia Bourgeois and Terry Bourgeois, there are so many reasons to give back to Roswell Park. Maria originally got involved to honor her parents who passed away from cancer. She would hop on her bike for Empire State Ride and Ride for Roswell and fundraise as much as she could.
Sandra Cumming
Sandra Cumming started her career with Roswell Park as a nurse in October 1976. After retiring, she decided to Remember Roswell in her will because working at Roswell Park meant so much to her, especially the connection she made with patients.
Shirley Struchen
Shirley's connection with Roswell Park started more than 60 years ago. She established the Whipple Family Endowed Fund and is leaving a legacy gift to support medical oncology education and training programs.
Cheryl Reinhardt & Barb Waclawek
After receiving a diagnosis of stage 4 ovarian cancer and given six months to live, Cheryl Reinhardt turned to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center for a second opinion in 2004. During the visit, they received hope and treatment options. Barb was with her every step of the way.
Christine Clement
Christine Clement has no doubt that Roswell Park saved her life. Her body was fighting two types of cancer simultaneously — one that was only discovered thanks to the thoroughness of her care team. That’s what inspired her to become a Dr. Roswell Park Legacy Society member.
Bob Keenan
"Roswell saved my life - twice." This is how Bob Keenan likes to introduce himself when he's at Roswell Park.
Mike and Suzanne Ameroso
Mike and Suzanne Ameroso both love to volunteer and support Roswell Park. "We were so grateful for the outstanding care that Mike received at Roswell Park that we offered to volunteer," says Suzanne.
Carol Simon Bachmann
A retired educator who lost her husband to kidney cancer, Carol created The Gary I. Simon Endowed Fund for Kidney Cancer Research which will be established with Carol's legacy gift from her IRA.
