On August 22, 2007 the Fifis family and the Cherry Hill community lost a truly dedicated business man and friend. After several years of a tough fight, Demetrios “James” Fifis lost his battle with cancer. The love he had for his restaurant and the community was plainly visible to all, as nearly 1,000 patrons, politicians, employees (past and present), family, and friends came to his viewing to wish him well on his journey back home to God.
Jim’s final wish was that his friends and family raise money to support lung cancer research. Keeping with that wish, his family has created The Jim Fifis Lung Cancer Research Fund to honor Jim by supporting lung cancer research at Cooper University Hospital.
The 2nd Annual Dinner at Ponzio’s to support the Jim Fifis Lung Cancer Research Fund will be held on Tuesday, October 2, 2012. Delicious Ponzio’s food and desserts will be served. To see pictures from last year’s event, visit www.facebook.com/fifisfund.
