(America’s Charities) – CureSearch for Children’s Cancer is a national non-profit foundation whose mission is to end childhood cancer by driving targeted and innovative research with measurable results in an accelerated time frame. One of the ways CureSearch is working to accomplish this mission is through partnerships with businesses like Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurants. We recently interviewed CureSearch about this partnership. Below is a Q&A from that conversation:
What Kind of Partnership do You Have with Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurants?
The founders of Iron Hill Restaurant and Brewery, home brewers Kevin Finn and Mark Edelson, and restauranteur Kevin Davies, are intimately aware of the impact of childhood cancer as Mark’s wife, Maureen, is a Pediatric Oncologist practicing at Nemours/Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware. She did her fellowship work at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC, under Dr. Greg Reaman, inaugural Chairman of the Children’s Oncology Group. Recognizing the importance of children’s cancer research, Edelson and his co-founders were inspired to begin supporting CureSearch for Children’s Cancer.
In 2004, as part of the on-going fight against cancer, Iron Hill developed a signature dessert, The Double Chocolate Hill. The dessert boasts moist chocolate cake with a warm peanut butter center, covered in a creamy chocolate ganache and accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Iron Hill committed to donate $0.75 from the sale of each Double Chocolate Hill dessert to CureSearch.
