Here we remember the life of Robert J. Hogga Sr. and host events throughout the year to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer research.
Robert J. Hogga Sr. was well known in the Phoenixville Community. He was heavily involved with local baseball events as he was an umpire for the Phoenixville Youth Babe Ruth League and also a football umpire in the local areas. In addition to being an umpire, Bob was most known for his photography and his involvement with pictures in the community. One of his favorite and most influential moments of his life was his involvement in the Voice of Democracy program which he helped lead for Phoenixville Area High School. The Voice of Democracy program is a speech-essay contest that awards students college scholarships through the Veterans of Foreign Wars post 1564. He was a member of countless organizations. The vast number of people who attended his services showed how important he was and how many people he touched in some way within the community.
The mission of the American Association for Cancer Research is to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, communication, and collaboration. Through its programs and services, the AACR fosters research in cancer and related biomedical science; accelerates the dissemination of new research findings among scientists and others dedicated to the conquest of cancer; promotes science education and training; and advances the understanding of cancer etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment throughout the world.
The Chester County Community Foundation connects people who care with the causes that matter, so their philanthropy makes a difference now and forever. CCCF was founded in 1994. The oldest community foundation in the U.S. is 100 years old, so CCCF is relatively young and growing.
