The McDonald Foundation presented the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute with a $5,000 donation to support the institute’s Community-Based Cancer Screening Navigation Program. Nevin Gerber, a representative of the McDonald Foundation and Spirit of Hope ambassador; Leo Vergnetti, chairman of the Spirit of Hope Board of Ambassadors; and 2026 Spirit of Hope Tribute to Courage honoree Thomas J. Munley presented the check. The Spirit of Hope Board of Ambassadors is a group of community volunteers that hosts an annual celebration in November at Mohegan Pennsylvania. Proceeds from the event benefit the NRCI’s screening program, which helps low-income and un/underinsured people get their recommended colorectal, breast, cervical and lung cancer screenings.
