Accomplishments: November 2007 - July 2010

Prior to our re-branding and re-establishment as a fund-raising arm for the Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute, The Joan Gaeta Lung Cancer Founation was proud to have been able to accomplish some great things. Our heart-felt thanks goes out to our generous supporters for their donations that made this all possible. We are excited to bring the same level of dedication to our work with the Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute.
