Embrace Hope 2021 Hybrid Fundraiser
This year, the Connie Dwyer Breast Cancer Foundation (CDBCF) is hosting the eagerly-anticipated annual Embrace Hope fundraiser as a hybrid event. To ensure we reach as many supporters as possible, we encourage past and new attendees to join us either in person or virtually on October 15, 2021. To add to the excitement, we are delighted to announce Eli Manning, legendary New York Giants quarterback and two-time Superbowl MVP, as our honoree attending the in-person event and appearing at the virtual event.
CDBCF is also thrilled to award Dr. Dipti Pandya, M.D., head Radiologist at the Connie Dwyer Breast Cancer Center at Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth, NJ, a distinguished service award for her dedicated service and commitment to her patients and the foundation.
The virtual Embrace Hope event will be broadcast live at www.cdbcf.org/eh with a message from Connie Dwyer and Dr. Pandya, an appearance by Eli Manning, a live auction, and text-to-donate. The live auction will include a few one-of-a-kind experiences and luxury items such as golf with Eli Manning at world-renowned Baltusrol Golf Club, a lacrosse clinic for 8 with Villanova and Rutgers local legend Connor Kirst, a timeless jewelry piece from Bvlgari, and much more. Join us for the virtual event, or to buy tickets to the in-person event, visit www.cdbcf.org/eh. Due to the pandemic, in-person tickets are limited.
