DONOR SPOTLIGHTS
The Stohlman Family
Like many families around the world, the Stohlman family has been profoundly touched by cancer. With three generations of their family affected by this deadly disease, they wanted to do something about it. The Stohlmans chose to support the Prevent Cancer Foundation to help others prevent cancer or detect it early. Since 1996, they have given to the Foundation in nearly every way, including funding a full research grant for breast cancer research, supporting the Annual Spring Gala and the Health Fair and 5k Walk/ Run, and making annual donations. Even the kids in the family, RJ and Lizzie, got in on the action by hosting a lemonade stand to raise money for the Foundation! The Prevent Cancer Foundation gives our sincere thanks to the Stohlman family for more than 25 years of support to Stop Cancer Before It Starts!®

As we know all too well, there’s hardly a family that isn’t touched by cancer. But most families don’t respond the way the Stohlmans have done over a “ quarter of a century, by supporting the Prevent Cancer Foundation’s events and programs, and helping save lives through cancer prevention and
early detection. We could not be more grateful. – Carolyn Aldigé, Founder and CEO, Prevent Cancer Foundation ”
Alexine and Aaron “Jack” Jackson
The Jacksons have always given generously in support of the Foundation’s annual events, including the Annual Spring Gala. The mission is personal: Ms. Alexine Jackson is a breast cancer survivor of more than 20 years, and Dr. “Jack” Jackson died from prostate cancer after a half-century career as a physician, teacher and surgeon at Howard University Hospital.
Ms. Jackson was introduced to the Foundation in 1989, when she served as the national president of the YWCA of the USA. The Foundation and the “YW” collaborated on our first outreach program, Project Awareness. Ms. Jackson joined our board in 1995..
After Dr. Jackson’s death, Ms. Jackson’s dedication to the Foundation remained steadfast. She continues to support our work through her role as an emeritus member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors—we are so grateful for her generosity and service.
Jennifer Griffin and Susanna Quinn
Talk about a dynamic duo. When Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin teamed up with her friend, entrepreneur Susanna Quinn, they became a force to be reckoned with.
Each has dealt with a cancer. Ms. Griffin was diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer in 2009, and Susanna Quinn with stage 3 ovarian cancer in 2019. With huge networks of supporters and influencers, they knew they could use their experiences to help the Foundation save lives.
Ms. Quinn said.
Ms. Griffin and Ms. Quinn have joined the Prevent Cancer Foundation Board of Directors and are currently tackling their first fundraiser, a popup holiday shop, as board members and ambassadors of the Foundation.
