Team Charleroi Donates To MVH Cancer Center

Receiving the donation for MVH is Louis J. Panza, Jr.(right) , president and CEO of Monongahela Valley Hospital from (left to right) Donna Angelo, Breast Cancer Awareness Walk Chairperson and staff member of Mon Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce, Thomas and Cora Ducoeur, owners of Orange’s Gift Department Store and Ducoeur’s Furniture. It is Tom’s mother, Lois Orange Ducoeur, whose memory is honored at the annual event.

Since 2003, downtown Charleroi has hosted the Lois Orange Ducoeur Memorial Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. That walk, which takes place in the fall, is billed as a one or two mile fun walk and fundraiser for local cancer center initiatives.

This year as a result of the monies raised by the walk, Team Charleroi presented a monetary gift of $ 7,000 to Monongahela Valley Hospital toward its Charles L. and Rose Sweeney-Melenyzer Pavilion and Regional Cancer Center. This year’s gifts, in Lois Orange Ducoeur’s name, brings the total contribution to date to more than $ 26,000 donated.

“I am thrilled by the support we received for this walk,” said Donna Angelo, Breast Cancer Awareness Walk Chairperson. “More than 200 people turned out for the event and the proceeds stay here in the mid-Mon Valley to treat the many area residents who have been affected by this disease.”

Louis J. Panza Jr., president and chief executive officer of Monongahela Valley Hospital, said the health system "deeply appreciates this generous gift from Team Charleroi."

He said the monetary gift will "assist us immeasurably in the quest of our Mission to enhance the health of the residents of the mid-Monongahela Valley area and to maintain our role of providing quality cancer care to all who need it. Cancer care doesn't start or end with a patient's treatment. At MVH, we offer educational programs, screenings and support groups as well. We remain dedicated to continuing to offer compassionate care, quality oncology services and programs and advanced technology.”

“This donation is a prime example of how area residents assist in our efforts to benefit the health and wellness of the communities we serve,” he said.
