We would also like to convey our thanks to Avon Grove High School for embracing our mission and rallying the community to help us get ahead of cancer. We look forward to presenting this event every year. The energy and atmosphere brings us back to a time when our boy’s played at Ridley High School. The comradery, the competitiveness and the sportsmanship is something that truly makes hosting this event a privilege. This year we will be honoring both cancer patients and their families and throughout the day we will have several ambassadors of our mission onsite to share their inspirational stories. This event is just not a fundraiser; this is an event to assure these amazing people that they are not alone in their fight.

About HEADstrong Foundation
The HEADstrong Foundation™ is a 501(c)(3) committed to improving the quality of life for cancer patients and their families through providing essential services.

HEADstrong™ is an athletic rooted organization that serves the cancer community by granting direct financial assistance to those financially impacted as a result of the disease, by providing complimentary long-term housing and amenities for those traveling to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for cancer related treatments through Nick’s House™, by funding innovative cancer research through the Nicholas E. Colleluori Lymphoma research fund, by serving family meals and offering outlets of entertainment, by providing fresh groceries to patients being discharged from lengthy hospital stays, by delivering comfort kits to newly hospitalized patients preparing for treatment or transplant, and by lending an arm of support through their peer to peer advocacy group.

The blueprints for the Foundation were conceptualized by Nicholas “HEAD” Colleluori in 2006, from his hospital bed while he underwent treatment for non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which ultimately claimed his life. Today, Nick’s vision is being fulfilled through the relentless efforts of his family, athletes and supporters across the country uniting in the fight against cancers.
