We were proud to be involved in the recent fundraising event for cancer research held December 8th at the Crest Hollow CC. The over 800 concerned Long Island residents (including ex-governor Mario Cuomo) who attended had apurposeful yet thoroughly enjoyable evening dancing up a storm until midnight. We'd like to invite you all to help by visiting http://www.donmontifoundation.org/contact.html to make a donation. In June 1972, a 16-year-old boy named Don Monti died at North Shore University Hospital of myeloblastic leukemia. Within days of his death his parents, Tita and Joseph, committed themselves to founding an organization in his memory ultimately dedicated to finding a cure for cancer.
Starting small, the Montis established steps that are still in place today and that have helped thousands of patients directly, as well as an untold number who have benefited from the Foundation's research and the expertise of its physicians. The first step was to establish the Don Monti Division of Oncology and Hematology at North Shore, where no such specialized service existed before. This Division now treats more cancer patients than any other in the region and has offered even more treatment options through the Don Monti Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit. To further its scope and promise Don Monti Cancer Centers have been opened in Huntington, Glen Cove, Forest Hills, Plainview, Franklin and Southside Hospitals
