Bottino Cancer Foundation Support Tops $500,000 for Inspira Cancer Program

Vineland, NJ – With its recent donation of $50,000 to the Inspira Foundation, the Bill Bottino Cancer Foundation has now given more than $500,000 in support of Inspira Health’s Cancer Services. The generous gifts from the Bottino family supports a dedicated fund that provides patients with financial assistance for essential non-medical bills such as food, household supplies, and utilities. Funds from the Bottino Cancer Foundation also support clinical and support services provided at Inspira’s Frank and Edith Scarpa Regional Cancer Pavilion in Vineland.

(L – R) Bill Bottino Jr., on behalf of the Bill Bottino Cancer Foundation, presents a $50,000 donation to Amy Mansue, president and CEO of Inspira Health, and Gary Galloway, chairman of the Inspira Health Foundation Board. The donation will support cancer patients at Inspira Medical Center Vineland.

“The generous philanthropic support of the Bottino family has touched the lives of families throughout South Jersey that have faced a diagnosis of cancer,” said Peter Kaprielyan, chief development officer, Inspira Health. “Their desire to assist our patients and families, and to reduce the burden cancer places on our community is truly an inspiration for all of us.”

The Bill Bottino Cancer Foundation was officially established in 2016, following years of the Bottino family’s active and generous support of the locally-based Barbara Cook Cancer Foundation. It was named in honor of the Bottino family patriarch, who lost his life to cancer in 2006. Since 2011, the Foundation has made 10 large donations in support of Inspira’s Cancer Services, while also supporting other local cancer programs.
