This wonderful casual evening offers a great combination of  incredible food and awesome spirits and wines.

Proceeds will support Dr Lampidis' ongoing cancer research which is focused on eradicating cancer by exploiting a trait common to most tumors.

THE LAMPIDIS FOUNDATION is a
non profit 501(c) 3 charitable organization.


This provides funding for Dr Lampidis' ongoing cancer research that is focused on eradicating cancer by exploiting a trait common to most tumors; Increased  sugar uptake. Although the PET scan has been around for more than two decades and has proven that tumors take up more glucose than normal cells it has not been successfully exploited for treatment.

Dr.Lampidis has found that a sugar very similar to glucose,  (2-deoxygluscose) , can be used to trick most if not all types of cancers to take it up selectively and because it cannot be utilized inside the cell  for energy or for growth it essentially starves the tumor cell to death. His cell culture and laboratory animal work has led to FDA approval of a Phase I clinical trial that has recently been reported. The donations are now needed to bring his technology thru a series of other clinical trials before it can be used as a new universal treatment for most if not all cancers!

In the last 10 years  Dr. Lampidis was awarded two consecutive multi-million dollar, five-year awards from the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support his game-changing work.  Unfortunately, due to dwindling federal funding, Dr. Lampidis can no longer rely on the NIH to keep his research moving forward.  Additionally, his work has reached a point where greater funds are required to bring his technology from the lab to the clinic. As with most important  endeavors, it takes the collective efforts of a diversified group of individuals (not just the originator) to bring a medical idea all the way  to actual clinical use since there are so many obstacles to be overcome. He and his research colleagues are on the brink of several major breakthroughs, but without the necessary funds to sustain this vital research, getting it to clinical use becomes less of a reality Hence the recent creation of The Lampidis Foundation. A group of individuals headed by Mr. Anthony F. Merlino who have become global messengers behind the science and research of Dr. Theodore J. Lampidis. We hope you can join us in this effort that offers great hope in making a significant impact in the fight against this dreadful disease. Please contact the Executive Director of The Lampidis Foundation, Anthony Merlino at 305-710-8113, Anthony@lampidisfoundation.org
