The Debbie Romano Memorial Foundation was founded in 1996 by family and friends to honor the memory of Debbie (Mulloy) Romano, who died from a pediatric brain tumor at age 29. The foundation, which works closely with the pediatric neuro-oncology clinic at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, strives to keep the memory of Debbie alive by gathering family, friends and members of our community to help make a child smile by reaching out and touching lives the way Debbie always did.

Our primary goal is to raise funds for an endowment at St. Christopher's that will support a Chronic Care Coordinator specifically dedicated to helping these children and their families to cope with the overwhelming emotional and financial burdens associated with a cancer diagnosis. Thanks to your generous support of the Debbie Romano Smiles for Miles Event, we have raised approximately $600,000 towards our goal and $55,000 towards the immediate needs of the children currently being treated for brain tumors and neurological diseases at St. Christopher's. Your support has allowed St. Christopher's to purchase a specialized x-ray scanner and establish a neuro-oncology library at the hospital. And thanks to you, these children have new videos to watch while receiving chemotherapy, and have enjoyed holiday events and trips to the Philadelphia Zoo, Camden Aquarium and Phillies games.

We thank you for your generous support, and continued dedication to this most worthy cause.

The Debbie Romano Memorial Foundation is a not-for-profit 501 C 3 organization.
