Members of the Derby Middle School Running Club recently helped Project Purple Chairman Dino Verrelli present Griffin Hospital President and CEO Patrick Charmel with a $2,000 check to help pancreatic cancer patients at the Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital in Derby.
The Club raised the funds through a car wash, fundraiser event at The Original Antonio’s Restaurant in Ansonia, donations collected for running at the Irish Festival 5K and individual team member’s fundraisers.
Based in Beacon Falls, Project Purple is a non-profit organization with a mission of raising awareness and funds towards a cure for pancreatic cancer.
Team members include Lily Wald, Rachel Fleischer, Nicole Rizzo, Joey Ostuno, Dayna Kneissl, Tristan Pruzinsky, Nicolette Tasi, Kiley Rodriguez, Ejona Gjata, Akshar Patel, Steven Stanley, Joseph Mammano, Sara Gerckens and coaches Shelley Sheridan, Mike Gozzo, Jenny Ames and Rahul Samanta.
