In last year’s edition of Legacy, we were proud to share with you the historic milestone of the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research surpassing $25 million. I’m still blown away by this feat, considering that in 1998, Stefanie and I set an initial goal of $250,000, which seemed so ambitious at the time.
The continued impact of the Spielman Fund is a testament to Stefanie’s vision, her indomitable spirit and her impassioned plea to “Continue to fight. Continue to live.”
Nearly 13 years after her passing, she is still changing lives.
In this issue of Legacy, you’ll read about a husband’s enduring love for his wife, exciting changes at the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center and the incredible impact of our vast network of community partners, who are dedicated to raising critical funds for cancer research. We are excited to highlight the advancements your dollars have helped make possible.
Yet with all that we have accomplished, there is more work to do to find a cure and create a cancer-free world. I want to thank every one of you who has contributed to this cause. Stefanie lives on in each of you, and I know she would be very proud of how far we have come.
Continue to Fight,
Chris Spielman
Co-Founder, Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research
