Thank you,
everyone.
See you in 2027.
On Friday, September 18, a full field of golfers played The Architects Golf Club in memory of John Robert Angelo, and turned a day of golf into $48,000 net for the mission. Year two was our first as the JRA Foundation, and those net proceeds are what let us begin getting financial help to patients facing a blood cancer diagnosis. Here’s a look back at the day you made happen.
The day, and what it starts.
The people, the support, and where it goes from here.
The second Resilient Open, and the first as the JRA Foundation.
On Friday, September 18, a full field of 96 golfers played The Architects Golf Club, then came together for dinner, a silent auction, and a raffle. Built around John’s memory, the day turned into real financial help for families facing a blood cancer diagnosis.
Run by volunteers.
A phenomenal group showed up early and stayed late, running registration, the course, and the dinner so the whole day moved without a hitch.
The support nearly doubled.
This year drew close to twice as many sponsors and supporters as last: businesses, families, and partners across the region who decided this mattered and put their name behind it.
Where it goes.
The Resilient Open is the inaugural event of the JRA Foundation, and the day that seeds our patient support programs. It raised $48,000 net to the mission, and those proceeds are what let us start putting money toward patients in treatment: the gas, travel, lodging, and everyday costs a diagnosis brings that insurance doesn’t.
The auction and raffle doubled.
The silent auction and raffle grew to about twice last year’s size, with donated experiences, packages, and prizes filling the tables. Together they carried a real share of the total.
What’s next.
Building the patient support programs this day seeds, and partnering with oncology social workers at regional hospitals across eastern Pennsylvania and central New Jersey, so we can reach the families who need financial help and get it to them.
The day itself.

The mission doesn’t stop.
Be part of 2027.
This day proved what a golf course, a dinner, and a story worth fighting for can do — move real money to families facing a blood cancer diagnosis. We’re already looking to 2027, and to helping more families than the last. Come be part of it.
