On June 14, 2021, we lost Dominic Bridgeman to Testicular Cancer. He was a Son, Brother, Uncle, Nephew & Friend & the world lost a sweet soul. Dominic was a positive, hard-working, and giving person. Dominic was a fixture in the Allentown PA Restaurant Industry from an early age. He worked in almost every position and touched many lives along the way. Even while he was fighting for his life, he was thinking of others. From his hospital bed, he created the concept of this foundation. “Dad, I know what I want to do with my life when I beat this thing and get out of the hospital. I want to find a way to help others and their families going through this. Encourage people to get early and often check-ups and be a motivation to those going through this journey.” So, we are going to take over what he started.
We are proud to announce, Do It For Dom-Focus Foundation
The foundation will work to raise awareness not just for Testicular Cancer but all Cancer and the need for regular medical care for early detection. The foundation will also run a Grant Program concentrating on the Greater Lehigh Valley area to assist those families with financial support while going through
these difficult times. Finally, the foundation will make donations to cancer research in hope that one day, another family doesn’t have to go through this.
