Fifth Annual JAM Party for Cancer Research

Guests mingled and danced at Union Trust to raise funds for cancer research and to support those living with cancer.

On Saturday night at Union Trust, JAM, a Philadelphia philanthropic movement consisting of individuals whose mission it is to support cancer research, held its 5th annual party to raise funds for those living with cancer. George Azar, co-founder of JAM, is a 14-year survivor of cancer who wanted to find a way to give back and thus created this event with John Frederick and Brie and Justin Bernstein.

The event began with a cocktail party at the newly renovated Union Trust which is now a Finley Catering event space. For two hours, guests had a chance to check out an extensive raffle auction as well as catch up with friends. A buffet was served at 9 p.m., and dancing started afterward to tunes by DJ Montone. Proceeds from the evening went to the America Cancer Society.
