8 SEENA MAGOWITZ FOUNDATION At the Seena Magowitz Foundation, we accept the challenge. Facing the deadliest cancer of all head on. Accelerating breakthrough advancement of pancreatic cancer research that will lead to earlier detection, extension of patient quality life and ultimately a cure of this brutal and devastating disease Our goal is harnessing the most formidable team that delivers the most impact at the most rapid pace. A concerted synergy of compassionate advocates that unite to fund the brightest minds in medical science and technology. Providing knowledge and information that encourages those at the highest risk to become diligent self-advocates. “If not me, then who?” That’s the question that kept echoing in the mind of Roger Magowitz after he accompanied his mother, Seena, to her oncologist appointments following her pancreatic cancer diagnosis in 2001. Expecting the doctors to recommend a course of treatment that would set Seena on the road to recovery, Roger instead heard that their focus was not on treating her condition or finding a cure, but rather, enhancing her quality of life in what little time she had left. “No one should ever have to hear that there’s nothing doctors can do for a loved one,” he noted, and it was this sentiment that set the wheels in motion for what is now the Seena Magowitz Foundation. It’s also what cemented the foundation’s focus on clinical trials that would help pave the way for new treatment methods, new innovative treatments and, ultimately, new conversations for patients and family members facing devasting pancreatic cancer diagnoses. THE FACE AND VOICE OF PANCREATIC CANCER

SEENA MAGOWITZ FOUNDATION 9 When I decided to produce a tribute book, I immediately knew the first honoree would be Dr. Daniel Von Hoff because of his many contributions to medical research. But how many others should this book give tribute to? There are so many cherished memories and so many stories that have impacted the Foundation in uniquely positive ways. The courageous Legacy Heroes, who lost the war with pancreatic cancer but gave so much valuable discovery to medical research. The volunteers who made our events hum like finely tuned machines. Our inspired and energetic Warriors who woke up every morning with enthusiasm, hope, and confidence they are going to defeat the beast. The many sponsors and donors whose generosity enabled us to do what we do. And so many advocates that helped in so many ways. This book had to pay tribute to all the people that have been instrumental to the Foundation’s success. It had to be filled with photos that captured cherished moments. It is so very hard to reach out and thank everyone who have helped weave the fabric of what this organization has become, but we wanted to give it our best shot. The three pillars of the Seena Magowitz Foundation, besides myself, include Liz McBeth, who handles all administration and serves as the director of our annual Foundation Golf Classics. Liz has been with me since inception of the Foundation, always unwavering in her dedication to the cause. Tony Subia, the person most of you never see, performs behind-the-scenes administering of our website and social media. He is a sounding board, my mentor and my friend. He also directed our Inaugural tribute book. It’s important to note that no one in this Foundation receives a salary. All efforts are out of love of what we do. This tribute book is a celebration of the numerous individuals and companies that have championed us. It celebrates the masterful work of Dr. Von Hoff and sheds light on so many individuals and companies that have been so generous with their time and money. Congratulations to you all.
